Hello!

I have just received a nice Icom AT-500 antenna coupler. I knew it had a
fault in the bandswitch and I have looked at it. Bandswitch is made of four
wafer switches. One is phenolic made, as it just switches control signals.
Other three are ceramic switches, as they switch RF power signals. In my
unit, center ceramic switch has arced over and it has several contacts
completely destroyed. I wonder if somebody has an spare or just a damaged
unit, as I can repair it with parts from any of the three ceramic switches.

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

JOSE
