By the way, back in the late 70's/early 80's when I had a Triton
IV/544, the reed relay crapped out. A telephone call to Ten-Tec
got one in the mail gratis. It seemed the reed relay was a model
which they subsequently found would not hold up to the thousands
of cycles CW ops put them through and were crapping out
frequently. They found another manufacturer who had relays with
higher keying cycles and, I guess, replaced them as we Triton IV
owners called their failures in.
Both relays, as I recall, were quiet and I don't recall my
attention being drawn to them by their clicking.
