I'm using a Yaesu FT857d to monitering 6m videos, the antenna is a verticle and one day I discover the RX was dead on 6m 50MHz. After studie the schematic from the service manual I found there was a preamp on 50Mhz. The preamp using a 2SC5374 semiconductor, I ordre one from ebay but then probely cheaper from Yaesu , here how to located the preamp
