Dale Farnsworth (call sign unknown) posted on Monday that the Mouser part number for the more robust version is 771-BAP64-04-T/R .  Maybe you missed it.  Mouser has over 4000 in stock at a price of $0.38, or 10 for $3.10.

Glad you found the problem.  It's a relatively easy fix.

Dave... thanks so much. The sensitivity returned when I did the J66 jumper test. So looks like PIN diode D5 needs to be replaced. Looks like I can order from Mouser. Will do some digging and see if I can find the "more robust version".

Unfortunately, the link near the bottom for the more robust replacement part doesn't work anymore, but maybe someone can come up with the part number.  I've got a bunch of them at home, but I'm on vacation.  The robust replacement is slightly larger in size, but it will still fit on the solder pads if you are careful.

While operating SO2R the 'HIGH RF" warning flashed on the K3 display. Before I could react and stop the transmission on the other radio the front end got zapped. The radio is down about 50 db on RX. I checked Ant 2 and RX antenna and the same problem so probably not the surge protectors on each of these inputs. Any ideas on what part goes out when this happens. The TX radio was on 20 meters and the RX radio was on 15 meters.
