[1000mp] RELAY INFO

[Garry Shapiro]

I received several emails from Chip Margelli, who said he had never seen the
emails I had sent him re the RX dropout problem. He asked for more
details--although the discussions here seemed pretty complete, I provided
them. I thought "Hey, the Chipper is finally taking an interest in the
problem!"

Then I read the announcement that he is moving to Heil Sound...

I've experienced the Rx problem from time to time.  Have never used an amp.
