Check digital logic 
to the RF switch 
and replace U402 if 
needed.
Check digital logic 
to the RF switch 
and replace U404 if 
needed.
Check digital logic 
to the RF switch 
and replace U403 if 
needed.
Check digital logic 
to the RF switch 
and replace U405 if 
needed.
Note: RF Test frequency used:
VHF:   154.275 MHz
UHF1: 424.975 MHz
UHF2: 485.075 MHz
700:    769.0625 MHz
800:    860.0625 MHz
Measured with a high impedance probe for relative comparisons and 
troubleshooting only.
Actual S21 gain or loss may differ if the test point is not 50 ohms.
