Pete,

Do you have the proper voltage on Q1?  Check for 1.22 volts at the 
cathode of U2.  Also check the value of R3 and R3 with your ohmmeter.

It sounds like you have replaced everything important, but if you had 
enough RF to fry the resistors, you may have damaged the switch contacts 
at the same time.  You should be able to determine the resistance 
through the switch with your ohmmeter.  Do that for both poles, and both 
switch positions.

73,
