[Icom] 765 TR relay

[Mel Martin (VE2DC)]

I've also seen this symptom with a bad relay on the tower and once with
a loose connector. Actually that was an memorable lesson. Since
everything seemed OK in the shack, I had assumed that the problem was on
the tower, a 150' guyed monster. So we climbed the tower, checked the
relay box, the many connectors on the tower... Everything was perfect...
It was a connector at ground level, where there was a join between
hardline and RG8 beside the house that had worked loose. Next time...
I'll start from the other end!

I've also seen this with a bad T/R relay, so your diagnosis might be
correct... But be wary of things external also.

>Well, I think my faithful 765 may be developing arthritis of the TR
>relay.  After a few minutes, it sometimes loses sensitivity on receive.
