[ICOM] IC737A Antenna Relay

[Rick Ellison]

Does anyone know if this is a common problem with the 737A?? The price ICOM
wants for that little relay is $40.00. I guess I am going to double check to
make sure its nothing else in the circuit first...

I think you will find that Icom parts is the least expensive place to by 
parts for Icom radios.

No $400 minimum order, no $10 handling, no $25 shipping.
