My MK2G had powerup problems for a while and I found the relay that turns the DC on had problems with the contacts. After cleaning them a couple of times (cut

Hi Guys, Thanks for the information. The clicking of the relay happens regardless of whether the control head is attached or not, so I don't think that is the

Hi, I have a 706MKIIG model. When I power up on 12V, the internal relay is silent, when I increase the voltage to around 14-15V, I get the relay constantly
