Does anyone have any experience using a DPDT relay to send both sides of
ladder line to ground to disconnect it from your tuner instead of using a
knife switch . The relay would be mounted in a metal box and the ladder line
would be connected to the relay inside the box with banana plug leads into and
back out of the box. The relay would be a high current DPDT 12 volt relay.
A quick test passing the ladder line straight through a 5" long grounded alum
box caused no change in the SWR on 80 and 30 meters. The ladder line will only
be used and 80 and 30 meters. Thanks Van W4GIW
