Fw: Re: Need coax relay to switch ant between K2 & K3

[Mike WA8BXN]

 
I would mount a relay with suitable contact rating for the power you will be
using in a small metal box and solder the coax center conductors you cut to
the appropriate relay pins. Join the 3 shields together, and to the metal
box. You won't need any extra connectors. Suitable relay and box available
at most radio shack stores.

That's an idea. I've got a pile of old 110ac relays that would work, but I really want to avoid kluding this one. (Don't have the time either with a new K2-build on the bench.

BTW, for any s/n watchers, Elecraft is up into 6990 this week.

Thanks, Alan
