In this task any faults in the path between the power-control circuit and the
PA driver will be located, as well as any fault with the PA driver.

R333, R336 (see Figure 11.9 and Figure 11.10), C310, R324 and
R327 (see Figure 11.13 to Figure 11.15) between the power-con-

2. Repair any fault revealed by the checks in Step 1. If none of the
above-mentioned components is faulty, replace Q306
(see Figure 11.13 to Figure 11.15).
3. Confirm the removal of the fault and go to “Final Tasks” on
