Ken,

This may be a dumb question on my part, but are you
sure it's a relay problem and not something wrong
with the VOX circuitry? Does this delay happen in
PTT operation?

It could be dirty relay contacts that have carbon
buildup. Before replacing the relay, try cleaning
the contacts. Might save you some expense.

My old TS-820S takes forever to drop back to receive after transmitting.
I'm
sure it is the relay but I need a little info.

First is the relay on the on the "RELAY UNIT, X543-1190-00" the relay i
n
question? Sound like a stupid question but I've been into a 830 before a
nd
it has two relays in it.

Secondly, is the relay in a socket?

I have found that Mouser carries a replacement relay (part
#526R1617D512)which I will order if the original relay is soldered in, i
f
not I will try to clean the relay in the radio. I will probably order o
ne
anyway to have as a spare or in case I mess up the original in the clean
ing
process.

I appreciate any info you may offer.
