Al and Dennis I went ahead and removed the bottom shield plate where I can
get to the all the band switch rotary shaft. I cleaned all the contacts on
the shaft and that still didn't help. Here is what I notice.
( 1 ) After the rig has been on about 10 mins the receive drops out. To
bring the receive back up you can key the mic or move the PTT/MOX toggle
switch up to MOX position and back down and the receive come back up.
( 2 ) Or you can turn the band switch say on another band from what you
were on and the receive will drop back out again.To bring the receive back
up you can key the mic or move the PTT/MOX toggle switch up to MOX position
and back down and the receive come back up like above. Now the Heater switch
does not have to be on or to bring this receive back up . After the rig does
this a few times the the PTT/MOX toggle switch gets a little slower about
bring the receive back up. You will have to key the mic or toggle the switch
5 or 6 times before the receive comes back up.
