Complete loss of receive or just receive audio?
Did you plug an external speaker in after fixing the jack? |

not being smart, but you really didn't answer 181's question. we know there is no audio but does it rx (is the s-meter moving at all?). |

Check all your joints and traces first. Especially in the area where the ex/spkr was bad.
Beyond that work backwards. Could be an audio amp like Jon said. |

Good call Crafter.
I wouldn't have suspected that with a fairly new radio.
