The original purpose of this relay was to switch the input/output
from 52 Ohms when transmitting to 200-300 Ohms on receive to
better match the input impedance of the receivers of the day.
With modern transceivers with a 50 Ohm input on receive, this relay
is superfluous and can be removed entirely.

If you wish to disable the relay you can simply unscrew the braid leads and move
them over to the other side of relay. You can remove the rectifier and cap and
feed AC to the relay or you can feed DC to the relay. You can send me a picture
of the relay and I can see if it is factory and what has been done. I have
rebuilt and or repaired a number of these.
