I am wondering if any Six-Pack users out there are experiencing the same problem I am. I have found my Six Pack to be rather unreliable. The problem is that the relays don't always operate in such a

If it looks like a duck... Certainly sounds like a product defect to me. Defective relays and/or insufficient pull-in voltage. GL/73 Gary W2CS

I have just installed this switch box 300 feet from the shack and it works perfectly. Running a little higher voltage is always a good idea to ensure proper closure. The cable one uses would also be

Good thought Kevin but not the problem here. My supply leads are of 5 Amp twin cable only 3 feet long. I measured the voltage across an activated relay coil and it was 14V but still operation was unr

are experiencing the same unreliable. The problem is that the reliable contact is made. I've been using the six-Pack for over a year now, with not one instance of that problem. I'm using 13.8 VDC. I

1) The design is not bad. Too many of them out there working FB for that. 2) You say relays, assuming you really mean more than one exhibits the problem. It is unlikely that six relays are all bad wi

wiping I saw somewhere (G3? or Rich Measures page?) circuit for power supply arrangement, where the relays get higher voltage "shock" when first turned on, then voltage drops to nominal for holding t

Do the relays contain any vendor/model information? Based on the desription of the problem, it does seem likely that the wrong coil voltage is used in that particular unit, particularly when it is no

It appears that the relays used in the six-pack do not tolerate much lower than 12v. I had intermittent problems with mine, although my situation was much worse than yours. I used a Top Ten Band deco
