Radio Shack HTX-202 low transmit power
 

Just over a year ago, during an event our club provides communications
for, my Radio Shack HTX-202 ht started intermittently transmitting at
low power even when set to "high". Since then it has gone to low
power all the time. This happens using battery or external power with
the whip or external antenna. The Google search revealed KB8ZCJ's fix
for his problem but I don't want to solder unnecessarily and am not
convinced that mine has the same malfunction as his did.
http://www.phreak.org/radio/mods/htx202fx.txt The LCD's on mine light
up as low power.

And the http://www.mods.dk/view.php?ArticleId=2721 page told how to,
apparently, make the radio permanantly either high or low power. Any
recommendations on a switch replacement or a repair facility?

Thank you for your efforts. Remove nospam for email reply.
