Not saying this is the problem with the 2000a but if Acom used the brown
or green Russian vacuum relay , I would change it to a Jennings or
Kilovac . The vacuum relay supplied buy Acom lasted less then 3 months .
Acom support was great! They had me a new Kilovac in less then a week
and I was able to install myself . I can also see where a bad coax or
antenna relay could give you a fault
Good Luck , Ed N5DG
