[ICOM] RL13 problem in IC-765

[Dave K6DLW]

Hi Bert,

I recently did this on my 765 and cleaning it did not solve my problem. I 
checked the contacts with a Tone-Ohm and they appeared OK. Problem with the 
relay in my radio is that it is intermittent so I am going to order a new 
one and change it. It is not a difficult job to get the tuner out and 
dis-assemble it. I took a Sharpie and labeled all the connectors I removed 
from the controller board but perhaps this is not necessary. Make note of 
the two coax cables you will need to unplug from the board connected to the 
antenna socket. You will need to de-solder them from the tuner PCB to get 
the relay out. Before you re-assemble the tuner into the radio you may want 
to go through the tuner alignment procedure since you can get to C5 in the 
tuner unit then.
