[ICOM] IC-765

[bonddaleena at aol.com]

Hi Mike, One last thing, my 761 was SO touchy, that just the LIGHTEST 
tap on the top cover would make it go deaf. Another tap and it would 
wake up. I hauled her out to the shop several times and every time, I 
'thought' I had the problem 'fixed' when I found loose screws. It would 
work for a day or 2 and then the same thing would happen.
Since I cleaned the relay, the radio has worked perfectly for several 
weeks.
The relay in question is Icom P/N 6330000490, on the relay is P/N 
LY2-0-DC12V. In the 761 the Service Manual calls it RL13. However, in a 
small note, it tells you to add '500' to the P/N in the Tuner unit, so 
it becomes RL513.
In any case, the research I have done tells me that relay has always 
been problematic in a LOT of Icoms.
HAVE FUN!!!

73 and gud luk

Thanks for the reply Gary. No, the S meter is at rest on the left side 
of
the meter face ... ZERO signal showing. As soon as I bang on the 20 
meter
button, the audio comes alive. Had a reply from a fellow with a 761 
that had
the
same issue with audio ... his was in the T/R relay and cleaning it 
fixed the
problem.

As for the display, I suspect lowered voltage but I haven't been inside 
the
box yet. We'll see. It could also be the result of some rough handling 
in
shipment from Orlando to Fort Wayne.

73, Mike W9MWS
