Can anyone tell me how to jump this relay, just to see if it will kick in.....when i key the radio, it want kick in,but i can push it in with a pencil & it will show wattage,but does not kick or click in. Its a 110 volt, I have replace the keying circuit,plse. help....thanks

Very basically, it means that the relay isn't getting power, or, the relay is broken and can't use the power being fed to it. Which is it? I have no idea. Trace the circuitry out and then you tell me.

yes .its geting power

maybe you need to replace the relay now?if you rebuilt the key circut then the relay is all thats left.

Its a 110 volt,

All the Scouts that I know of use a transistor keying circuit. The relay coil voltage should be 12 VDC. Not 110 V.

well, the one thats in this one says it a 120 volt ac on the back of it....thats all i know...

The 120 VAC could possibly be the contact rating. What is the coil resistance? If it is in the 100 to 180 ohm range then it is probably a 12 VDC coil.
