Repair of Mirage D1010
I'm again looking for suggestions for someone to repair a Mirage D1010 with no RF output. MFJ sent it back with a note that they had no finals for it. But I see those parts available in a couple of places with a web search.
I could probably fix this myself but just don't have the time.
The driver is an MRF644 and the finals are MRF650. I've not done any trouble shooting so it may not be these parts and the MFJ note didn't indicate they had done any either. Might be a relay or something else.
Suggestions appreciated.

I have one of their 2m amps from about 15 years ago that had the same issue. My stupidity killed my amp, hooked it up backwards....(DOH!) Fortunately I didn't kill my Yaesu FT-290 also!
MFJ has a policy that if they don't have the EXACT part they won't repair it, they don't substitute. You can find the parts at online places like Mouser or Digikey that will work just fine. I also fried the GAsFET and was able to find it for about $20. Amp has been working fine since.
