You probably need a new T/R relay. I'm sure Yaesu would be able to 
figure out the problem, even if you only send the note you posted to 
this list. A phone call to Yaesu would probably yield more info about 
their knowledge of this problem than any info on this list, however.

I think this is an ongoing problem, but it usually takes longer to manifest.

I'm sure the rig will be repaired fine.
