[Elecraft] 160 module fustration

[George Cortez]

Hi folks

Im starting to wonder if the 160 module is bad.
The antenna switch only works if it is in preamp mode
If  the preamp is switched on with the r ant on the r ant will not 
switch off or on.

Also large attenuation of signals when it is on the standard
antenna. When switched to the r ant  with an antenna on the r ant
signals are strong. When switched to the standard antenna with an
antenna still attached to the r ant, signals are still strong.

I hear relays clicking  ( I was not hearing that before)  but I fear
that the relays contacts are shorted. It has already been replaced once
and the board cant take much more abuse. This was a brand new module.
also replaced the relay driver chip and the mcu. There is nothing else!

I think im going to get another 160 module and start over.
Its cheap enough.
