Re: [TenTec] Fw: Power down on Omni VI plus

Certainly relays can be a failure point. Sealed relays in modern rigs 
may still arc or oxidize at the contacts, and I have even seen relays 
that were not seated to the solder pads fully, before the board was 
soldered.  That was in a Kenwood, but could happen to any relay equipped 
device.
I also suggested the power buses as a point to check for solder problem 
joints, and electrolytics that maybe only have a 20 year lifetime.
