If receive is OK on 80M, best bet is a relay on the Low Pass Filter Board for 80M went south. Rather coincidental, I just pulled my spare stash of these relays off the shelf to list them here for sal
Delay 51 if youre feeling lucky....62: may as well use a fuse. Delay curves are available on line. You want 59 or 69.....they trip at 125% rated current in .12 seconds or less. Your best, the 51 can

Personally, I would suggest an Eagle, but agree on other salient points. If you aren't capable of repairing yourself, or have $$ to pay more than market value to have someone else repair them, these

Yup. Thanks, Barry. Pretty easy install. Solder 1 wire to an existing resistor lead, and install a ground lug under a corner screw on one board. The rest are plug in connectors. In case anyone was cu
