Had and have the same problems on different bands.  Seems like sticking 
relays but support was less than normally expected from Tentec.  With no 
circuit diagrams it makes diagnosis that much harder.  Shelved mine for now 
but would sure like to know the best approach.  Sorry that I cannot be more 
helpful.
