Check level shifters, U603 and U604 by
checking signal amplitudes using an
oscilloscope at R616, R617, R618. R616
and R617 belong to U603 and R618
belongs to U604. Note: These resistors
are not placed. You will be probing the
pads.

Note: RF Test frequency used:
UHF1: 424.975MHz
UHF2: 485.075MHz
VHF: 154.275MHz
700: 769.0625MHz
800: 860.0625MHz
Measured with a High Frequency Probe for relative comparisons and troubleshooting
only. Actual S21 gain or loss may differ if the test point is not 50 ohms.
