Hi,
I'm trying to help a friend. The Rx sensitivity on the 2m band of his
FT-8000 is poor. He's fairly certain it was overloaded and "pift" by an
APRS beacon which was connected to a more than nearby antenna. Having
serviced radios for a short number of years, I suspect the 1st RF amp has
died. The part is an SGM2016M, dual gate GaAs FET. I've found it on the
board (fairly certain) but cant be 100% sure without the service manual.
Might anyone on the list be able to help? I don't necessarily need the
manual; a single page would help, or even a confirmation of the location of
the first device.
Thanks,
