Thanks guys.
I've found a suitable TVS to replace the one in my FT8900.
Doug - yes I thought the same thing. I have shorted the leads before and it's gone into overcurrent protection. The only fix I did last time was replace the pot controlling the overcurrent... it was dirty and kept tripping the supply.
Something else was up I suspect in the supply when it went.
Anyway I'm going to get more 3005's and see how I go.
