You can always try the "physical reset maneuver" method.  With a non-shorting tool (wooden pencil), sharply tap the relay being tested.  😉  Only the amount of energy used, changes according to size (smacks works on kids too!  😛).

But check the RF path, most relays (as I recall) pass received RF too (so deafness is a clue to localize the issue cause).

While you're in there, one at a time, unplug, replug each TMP connector (so you don't lose track of where it goes) as a general maintenance move because they can get a layer of crud over time. Connector pull, NOT the wire/s.

I realise that it looks like the soldering iron will have to be busy. Perhaps there is a relay that has died?? I would love to know what component to investigate further - perhaps relays K4 and K5?

I cannot find a layout for the pcb and none seem to have been produced.

Any advise most gratefully received.

I operate the rig stand alone so there is no interconnection to other equipment excepting my PC, however in SSB the problem persists.
