Strange Antenna Port Issue with 6700, Version 3.0.27

I have owned by 6700 for years and all is usually working well.  This week, I've experienced a problem.  On startup, I noticed no signals on REC.  I checked antennas and all seems OK.  I transmit and SWR is at 1.2 or better.  My REC and TX antennas are always on ANT1.  Now, if I change the TX antenna to ANT2 -- signals are received correctly.  I have checked out the antenna settings and the gain and all are still set to the correct settings.

I did switch bands many times and I got the radio to work normally.  Then a few days later it happened again and this time I cannot get it to work right.  I've rebooted many times and factory reset

Any ideas?  It is almost like there is a circuit kicked in to reduce the gain when on ANT1 for TX.

    Tom,
    I recently had a problem where ANT1 would not receive or transmit. ANT2 was ok.
    Turned out to be a bad relay on ANT1. Factory repair required.
    I suggest you put in a ticket to the help desk.

    Recently had a similar issue. Like Roy, arranged an RMA with Flex. Relay replaced and radio back better than ever after a short spell in the FRS Clinic.
