It's easy to burn dollars in connectors, an enclosure, and a circuit
board that matches the relays you have, all in addition to the relays
themselves. Layout is also non-trivial if you want decent RF performance
-- the entire path must be a transmission line, so the return path must
run on a layer directly under the switched path. The Top Ten 6x1 goes
for $125, so if it's any good, it's worth it.
Thanks for the offer of parts, Don. I could make good use of some high
power (1.5kW on HF) coax relays with 12-28V coils for other parts of
what I'm doing.
Have a good trip!
