[1000mp] RL-1002 & RL-1005

[Jon L. Turner]

Hello to All,

I am new to the group and just purchased my first Mk
V. I have not yet put it on the operating desk. After
doing some tests with a signal generator the 6 and 18
db settings on the attenuator are not working. Also,
the VRF acts as if it has a bad relay in it. I have
traced it down to RL-1002 and 1005. Looks like when I
tap on them I can get the signal to come back up as it
should be with a 100 uv signal into the antenna jack.
I still need to check into the condition of the
resistors used in the attenuator circuit.

I am wondering if there is a better replacement for
the  relays that are used. I am looking at the Omron
relays from Digi-key. I see Mouser has a couple brands
that will work also. Any comments would be
appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Jon
