Vin, The voltage at the base of Q7 should be at or very near zero during receive. The 0.7 volts is what is expected during transmit.
Try grounding the base of Q7 and see if the receiver comes more alive. If it does, you must chase down the source of the voltage on the base - first check pin 7 of U3 which also should be zero during receive. If it is not then check the orientation of U3 (if U3 is backwards, get a replacement). 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Some additional data. > > Voltages at U4, U5 and U6 check out OK.
