I acquired a HeathKit SB230 amp at the Windsor Hamfest this past weekend.
Seems to make advertised power (~500 watts into load at 29 mHz). Of course,
there is a minor problem:
It uses a pair of DowKey relays (-120Vdc) on the back of it for switching.
I would like to replace these monsters with an internal relay, either an
oper frame type or I may have to break down and put in a RJ1A and a reed.
Where could I find a 12 volt relay that could handle switching this amp? I
may butcher the 10 meter position and put it on 6 at some later date so
comments on this aspect of operation would be welcome as well.
Thanks
