hello everyone, sorry for the late reply.
DT307 ask for voltage, and there it is.

TR38 TX
B - 1.32 / C - 8.27 / E - 0.62

TR38 RX
B - 0 / C - 0 / E - 0

TR502 TX
B - 5.15 / C - 13.38 / E - 0

TR502 RX
B - 0 / C - 13.38 / E - 0

TR503 TX
B - 0.64 / C - 13.38 / E - 0

TR503 RX
B - 0 / C - 13.38 / E - 0

the pic for the back is here

Sorry for anything...

well...analysing this data...i guess the new 1969 and the 2166 are dead, right?

the bias on TP8 and TP6 is +/- 87ma and TP7 and TP8 is 32ma.

any sugestion?

desolder the driver and final
add fresh leaded solder to all the transistor pads
use solder wick or a desolder tool to remove all the solder
clean the area with Isopropyl Alcohol and a tooth brush lightly
check area for solder splatter

only then we continue

set bias vr10 and vr9 midrange

check the base voltages on the base solder pads for tr502 and tr503 (ssb tx no audio) set to 0.7v

only when the above is done can you install a tested driver and final

with the new driver and final installed re check bias voltages and adjust if needed to get 0.7v

Do you have RF-probe?
If not, you should build one. Will help a lot when troubleshooting no TX issues.

that track is supply the voltage to the collectors of the transistors its common to blow like that when a final mrf477 lets out smoke lol
