Does the antenna trimmer work properly? That is, do you get a sharp
peak in the response when it is adjusted? If the antenna trimmer works
across the band, then the antenna coil is OK. My HQ-180 had a broken
wire in the cable coming from the trimmer cap.

The antenna trimmer works fine. The first stage of RF filtering works well
across
all the bands. The antenna trimmer obviously helps here as it is just a cap
in parallel
with the tuning cap. My problems seem to be coming from either the RF
after, or the
following tuned circuits/switches.

Did have a damaged primary coil on one of the input transformers though,
T16. It was fried.
I wound 2 turns and this fixed it.
