Exclamation Tx Maintenance...?

For the radio experts, how often should I complete a maintenance routine on my transmitter, apart from the usual battery care/replacement?

Does anyone recommend sending it in to Futaba for detailed cleaning, parts check-up? If not, what do I look for to make sure everything is okay!

If you care, I own a Futaba 9CAP, purchased new about 3 years ago.

Thanks all,

Marc B

You can send it to Futaba or radio south.
