Hoping  someone can help with this.
I did find out the problem with the chattering  relay.  It is the relay 
itself.  Does not seem to be constructed  as well as it could be, the 
plastic 
components that hold the contact arms  in place seems to have deteriorated. 
There is a cross bar across the top  as well as one down the side.  The one 
down the side seem to be the  issue as it allows the contacts to "float" 
when 
pulled down and prevents  solid pressure on the opposing contact.
I have tweaked the position as much  as possible, but it will only be 
temporary.  The question is, does  anyone know where the  relay can be 
purchased?
The only markings  are the name, Neutral, then AC100.  It has an unusual 
pin-out that  does not follow anything I have been able to find.
Worst case would be to  wire in a standard relay, but due to space 
limitations, would be nice to  get one that fits properly.

Thanks again for any  responses!
PS-  Does anyone have an ICOM UT66 voice module willing to  sell?
