There I am driving along listening to weather radio.
Scratchy receive, choppy... Stop at a light, everything comes in great! start driving, choppy, staticy receive.
After my experience with the TK7360 a while ago where the antenna connector had a cold solder joint I figured I would pull apart the TK 7180 to check things out.
The antenna connector is soldered just fine but there is a diode? that is suspect.
What is it? is this a "common" issue? what's involved in replacing it?
Right beside the stenciled R3 with the component in question partly obscuring the 3
