I had one get stuck in an Icom 735 one time- thanks to medirect-connecting the
keying line of a Heathkit SB-200.
Just so happens that Radio Shack carries a 750 ohm coil
and a 1000 ohm coil reed relay. I needed a 500, but the
750 was close enough that it worked, and has been working
for 8 years now! CW, digital, AND phone. They're little blue
tubes with the contacts on each end (coil contacts on one
end, relay contacts on the other). Absolutely NO noise.
Good luck! 73, -Web
