[1000mp] Re: Relay thing..deaf receiver

[Steve Fraasch]

Yes, that is correct.  The AG series is an older design that NAIS no longer offers (just AGN and AGX).

You can buy them from other mfgrs; I just noted that we stock one like it at our business.

I have not done my homework (and aplogize for little useful info), but I am getting more motivated since mine in my MK V also sticks from time to time, and I will have to replace it eventually.

This is an obvious candidate for improvement, as well as it's usage in the MP.

Most relays are designed for over a million (if not 5-10) switch cycles; therefore, those of us that are losing these are due to reasons of poor component design, assembly or incorrect usage (too much/too little coil current, or too much contact current).
