[Kenwood] TS430 reliability

[Joe]

the only problem mine has is the relays that switch in and out band pass 
filters are dirty.,,, well one of them is because the receiver goes dead 
from 4.0 MHz till,  6.5 MHz total deadness nothing heard between those 
two freqs you can hear the relays click and the receiver comes back to 
life above and below those two freqs.
