Hi,

I have been pretty long time far away from home and my IC756 was a little 
bit alone. After such time, and very eager, I switched on my rig and I 
noticed something strange that scares me now. In CW after transmitting, 
during the changeover of the relay I can hear a strong CLICK that it's 
quite annoying ... The rig seems to work fine  but I can understand why, 
after more than a year on hold, now it behaves like that.

Could it be produced by dirty contacts? If not, do I have to do something 
when you keep such rig a long time inactive before working with it again or 
just "plug-and-play"? Anything else before opening it?

Thanks for your help

73s and good weekend.
