Any chance of any of the other 5 band radios having the same switch wafer?
Also, I got a better chance to check all the coils once I got the Antenna section out. I found that the primaries on all EXCEPT the Band 1 coil are open. The Band 1 coil seems to have an open secondary.
There was a modification made to this unit. Not sure whether it's factory or not, but a mica cap has been placed in series with the primary of the Band 1 coil on the side going to chassis ground. This is why I got an open indication on the primary of that coil initially.
