[Kenwood] TS-930S problem may have been found

[W3AFC at aol.com]

This is w3afc. I wrote to the mailman about a rig that shut down while in a 
 QSO with an OP in Latvia.
 
One of the MRF485 transistors is open on all terminals. It's Q3. Q2 also  
appears to be bad. It's not open but the forward/reverse ratios are poor. So 
my  first step is to buy a pair from Eleflow and work from there. With Q3 
open,  there will be no voltage on the TXC terminal. I'll post a follow-up. I 
have a  love-hate relationship with this rig. 
 
My TS-830S has never let me down like this.
