Mike,
Yes, the 2N7000 FET is sensitive to static, and could have been damaged
when it was installed.
The receive path will work fine with Q10 removed. If that restores your
K1 to full receive, then replacement is in order.
The specs on the 2N7000 at DigiKey are all the same from my perspective
- the manufacturers may be different, and the packaging (tape, reel,
bulk, etc) are different, but the component is the same.
