   Hello, I just received a dead radio today from a friend. It's a TM-3530A 
It has poor RX, and needs Q-1 (3SK129s)  in the RX RF amp replaced. I 
noticed that Q2 in the radio is also a 3SK129s, and the schematic shows a 
3SK74s. Are these two transistors compatible, or was there a revision 
the  RX RF amp in these radios? This radio was purchased new in 1990, or 1991.

Jim.
