Can RF finals be "partially" shot? I have an NTE342 RF final in a transmitter that is not putting out full rated power (only 3 watts but should be more like 6 watts) - Testing the transistor with a diode setting on my meter shows that its okay, but I am wondering if it could still be partially damaged. I am wanting to rule out the possibility thats its been damaged by heat in my clumnsy attempt to install it!
