These are very affordable (circa $3) 8A SPDT relays and they held up OK for me in heavy contest usage - until I got a legal limit amp. Since then I have at first intermittent and then increasing prob

Thanks, Tim! I'd be interested to see the pics and your results with the new relays! I'll have a look at the Struthers-Dunn Data sheet also. Thanks for sharing1 73, Charlie, K4OTV These are very affo

Are you hot-switching these? Or, could they be placed at a point where the current is higher than the relay's rating? In any case, I bought three or four different replays based on a discussion here

For my StationPro controller I tested a variety of relays and eventually settled on the Tyco/Shrack (Mouser 655-RTB14012F). There are about 3000 of these relays in use now by StationPro builders, wit

DC or low frequency AC is an almost meaningless test, although field life is a good data point. The only valid bench tests for a relay in these applications are RF heating with high current, and volt

With silver-cadmium relay contacts I use on my ladder line switching, I find I have to occasionally transmit a dit to get receive to work again, especially if I haven't been on the radio in hours or

I agree generally with these comments, except that my experience with CdAg contacts on receiving hasn't been that bad, provided that the application exercises the relays occasionally. Thus, using the
