Your RF level at the relay is already close to 3ma. Add an interface to lower the resistance.

This will be difficult . I can pull at most 4mA at 3.3V on the control lines out of the uC board. That is not a lot of power.... I'm already at over half of that, so realistically ... I can't pull more than 3mA with a bit of safety factor.

How about using the input power to the 3.3 Volt regulator, 6, 10  or
12 Volts?

If anyone has one ideas please share.
