Check LNA:
Check DC bias voltages for U406
at the base (pin 1) & collector (pin
3).
Is base voltage =
0.778 V? and
collector voltage =
1.554 V?
Check DC bias voltages of Q402
at the base (pin 2 or 5) , collector
(pin 6) & emitter (pin 1).
Is base voltage = 1.024
V? Collector voltage =
0.777 V? Emitter voltage
= 1.554 V?
Check DC input line
voltages and visually
inspect and replace
defective components if
needed.

Check LNA:
Check DC bias voltages for U407
at the base (pin 1) & collector (pin

collector voltage =
1.552 V?
Check DC bias voltages of Q403
at the base (pin 2 or 5), collector
(pin 3) & emitter (pin 4).
Is base voltage = 1.025
