Firstly does the red annunciator show in the display when you push

Secondly, if you turn down the AF GAIN, can you hear the 1GHz c/o
relay operating.

yes

The R7000 simply switches a 1-2GHz converter into the front of the
receiver, so it isn't rocket science finding your way round it.

I am aware of that. That is why i'm thinking that this is a bigger problem.
You see, if relay is not switching antenna properly then there would be no
change if i turn 1GHz switch on or off. However, when i turn it on, i hear
the FM station about -30dB weaker. That's what is puzzling me. Otherwise,
the problem would be clear and i would know i just need to replace relay.

By the way, where can i download schematics of R-7000 ?

Thanks!
