[Fox_Tango] FT-101EE ( receive drops out )

[Mike]

Just lately my FT-101EE receive goes out. I can just be setting there listening and all of a sudden you hear nothing. At frist I thought it might be a antenna connection but its not. When the signal drops out there is no S meter reading and you hear no signal at all. Its like you have just taken the rig out of the box, pluged it up and turned it on without the antenna on it. Sometimes I can just key the mic once and the signals comes right back up and then sometimes it takes keying the mic 2 or 3 times before it comes back in. At first I thought it might be the relay in the final compartment sticking so I replaced it and that wasn't it and then I changed the relay in the main board and that wasn't it so now I am hoping someone here might know.
   One more thing that I might mention, when you turn on the 25 KHz or 100 KHz signal calibrator I can just barely get a sound  and no signal reading at all.
