  I was testing the GRC-109 and found that the TR switch in the transmitter was not passing any signal.

I suspect CR1 and CR2 HD2172 diodes are bad. What would be a good substitution for these? I can't find any data on them.

The receiver works well down to less than a uV on CW with the signal applied directly to the antenna terminals.
