but frequency 
incorrect
FGU failure!
Go to Main Synthesizer Chart
Set IFR TX Frequency to 405.025MHz
Set IFR Reference Level to 0dBm
Check transitor 
stage Q5701, 
switch Q5711 and 
switch Q5301
Check switch Q5301 
and components 
between Q5301 and 
U5701 pin 19 & 20 
Replace U5701
RF level at 
T5061 pin 4 
about -20dBm
?
Set IFR TX Frequency 
to  73.35MHz
RF level at 
TP5201 about
-30dBm
?
Check components 
between 
U5201 and T5061  
Check
D5061, T5062 
RF level at 
TP5202 about
-30dBm
?
Replace U5201
RF level at 
Q5031 Collector 
about -22dBm
?
4.4V DC at 
TP5021
?
Check components 
between 
Q5031 and antenna 
connector.
5.8V DC at 
Q5031 Collector
?
Check components 
between 
Q5031 and T5061 
Before replacing U0150 
check R5021 and 9.3V 
DC at U0150 pin 15
 
Before replacing Q5031 
check: 9.3V DC at C5002, 
0V DC at C5001. 
Check Q5001 and 
associated components.
