[Elecraft] XV222 RX is Dead, Need Advice

[Don Wilhelm]

Mark,

Sorry about your failed effort.  There is little in the RX path other 
than Q3 and U1 that is not also used in TX.

If you have equipment that can do signal tracing at 222MHz, just trace 
the signal path.  There should be a significant increase in RF voltage 
at the output of Q3 and more at the output of U1.  If not, check to be 
certain K1 has not been damaged.  K1 should be available from Elecraft 
since it is used in the XV144 which is still in production.

73,
Don W3FPR
