I built a remote antenna relay box 9 years ago using Radio Shack DPDT relays
with contacts rated at 10 amps (I paralled the contacts). Works fine and
running full power. Drove the 2KD-3 at 150 watts for 1500 watts output and
I run 1500 watts out of my Alpha (76A with a pair of 3CX800A7's).
I did destroy the 160m relay when I blew the insulator on my base loaded
Hytower. No further problems after I changed the Hytower to top loading on
160.
Other than that, no problems.
