[1000mp] Sticking ant relays

[HA3LN]

Dear All,

It took quite a while (however I had a longer pause during the summer) 
but it
turned out that there is nothing to do with the FT1000MP relays but the 
ant relay
in the PA has major issues. This was discovered after a desperate try 
with an other
PA and there was no symptoms at all in that configuration. After this I 
checked the
PA relay and there was visible damage.

Thanks for the support and the ideas most probably I had the easiest 
fault to fix.

73!
