We sent a note regarding the SR-2000 final loading capacitor heating problem 
and need to add a step to the fix.  Anytime the final loading capacitor is 
removed, replaced, or unscrewed and after it is re-secured, all three 
sections must be hi potted to 600 volts with the wires separated.  If it 
fails, it must be shimmed to relieve the tension caused by tightening the 
screws.  The SR-2000 is designed to enable idle bias, final drivers, and 
keying only after the antenna relay is confirmed closed.  If the loading 
capacitor shorts, the radio will think that relay transfer has occurred and 
can go to transmit before the relay actually closes with significant risk of 
damage.   Kindest regards Jim K9AXN
