Probably not but you could grab a meter and make sure.Patrick NJ5G The trouble with what you describe is that if the relay sticks on, you are too far away from the tower to kill the power and stop the motor. The type of relay used is the same as is used in air conditioners, and AC relays are famous for sticking on. On my HDX-5106, the relay has stuck on twice. 73 Rick N6RK _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |
