I have a 350hd that has a stuck relay. When you turn the amp on it cuts down rx . The tx is good but you have to turn it off to get the rx back. Any help?

Ok thanks 307. Is this something that a rookie can do? Which "small ones" am I looking for?

Well Rad Shak is useless again, went to get the parts for my amp(2n4403,2n4105) was told that they couldnt get them so it looks as tho I will have to find them elsewhere. Does anyone have any ideas?
