I was waiting for your input Jim, but was hoping for something more hopeful...
Yes it must be a switcher, to stabilise 3 amps in a box roughly 4*2*1 inches!
I'll still wrestle it open to see what looks fried, then find some replacement.

Failing that, I might consider brewing my own non-switching regulator.
The original does 3 amps at 11V output, 12-24 input. But I'll only use it at
12 volts (24V planes are beyond my means anyway, and I don't drive trucks
either) so at worst it'll dissipate 9 watts for short periods of transmission
(reckoning a max. batt. voltage of 14 volts), much less during reception.

Will keep you posted.


Read the owner's manual, because my transceiver prohibits transmitting with a
power adapter in use. Yours might also.
