Comment on Yaesu FT-2900R Getting Lower Voltage Than Supplied

Update: After inspecting the components’ voltages across the circuit and cross-checking it with the service manual, I found one of the transistors, marked Q1008 in the diagram, might be out of spec. The component should’ve been 2SJ615. Who knows what the phony seller did to it, but it was outputing well below the specified 13.5-13.8V (yes, I made sure the input was correct).

Update: The correct part has arrived. After replacing it, no more voltage drop!

Update: I accidentally shorted some component’s pins and the it failed to deliver the specified power once again. Guess now I know what happened to the old component I replaced. Luckily I have a spare.
