Bill,
That is not a good situation, and I have never seen that condition.
Check the orientation of varactors D37 and D38.
Then check the soldering of the L33 leads to the 1/8 watt resistor - you
may have to use a magnifier and good lighting.
Then check the soldering of all components. To find out which
components, look at the right corner of the RF Board schematic sheet 2.
All the components shown below U11 are suspect.
