If he sees R55 missing or clipped make sure he replaces it especially if indeed this is what happened. Or after he repairs it this can easily...
Check the SWR and if fine then you know likely it is in the radio. With volume midway and squelch fully CCW (down all the way - wide open...
In more ways than you know. The boards do not 'just wear out'. At most a crystal or capacitor is bad with total parts cost just a few bucks....
I have taken the elements from both models apart and the construction is identical in every way*. Still have them. The 488T differed only in the...
