[IRCA] Drake R8 Antenna Problem

[Tim Kridel <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I¹m getting back into the hobby, but unfortunately my Drake R8 is not being
cooperative. The culprit seems to be a bad relay for the antennas: Sometimes
the radio won¹t hear a thing when powered up. Other times, it receives just
fine, and then loses the signal after a few minutes; switching between the
two antennas multiple times often will finally fix the problem. It¹s 15+
years old, so maybe that relay is finally worn out.

If you¹ve experienced this problem, please contact me off list to let me
know how or where you fixed it. Thanks.
