Yaesu ft-200 VOX Relay

[Hamish]

Hi
I am helping a fellow amateur get his fathers FT-200 back into useable condition.
The rig needs a Vox relay and I can not find one.
can anyone help? the relay in my own FT-200 reads 2 kohm on the coil and works in the set under repair.

thanks

Thanks, I have the original manual and circuits.
What I can not find is a relay or the name of a supplier.
Just thought someone would know of perhaps had done a mod with some other relay.

Thanks again

You might contact RF Parts or other parts distributors and ask them if they have a relay that will operate from 100 VDC and pull 50 ma, more or less (based on the 2k coil resistance). You'll also have to tell them the contact configuration (how many poles and whether normally open or normally closed) and the physical size limits.

You might just try Yaesu - they might have a similar relay used in a different radio.

Thanks again
I have tried Yaesu but no joy,
I will now try RF Parts to see what happens, thanks for the advice.
must be a relay lying around with someone.
