TS930 problems
 

Is there any one in this newsgroup who has experience with repairing a
TS930 ?
My unit seems to be 'deaf' although I can hear another rig which is in my
shack.
It started intermittent nad after a few power down/up cycles the unit
worked as expected but now I can switch the rig off and on forever but it
won't work anymore.
Unit has sn 41xxxxx ( I know there are problems with the older sn's ) and
the TX part works very well.

Any ideas ?

I don't know about the 930, but the 830 (its predecessor) had a small
coil in the antenna circuit which acted as a fuse to protect the 1st
RF amplifier stage. I blew out two of them in a multi single 'test in
about 1983--KW amps feeding separate antennas which were nevertheless
still too close together.

A near lightning strike could also smoke them.
