[AMPS] SB220 antenna relay

[David B. Ritchie]

Lots of relays will work -- the one used by Heathkit in the SB220 never 
quit on me, but I always viewed it as a weak link.  Why not just go with 
a Dow Key, Amphenol or Transco -- these are widely available and bullet 
proof and should readily fit in the available space (they generally 
require connectors, though).  For a less bullet proof solution, Henry 
still makes amps and I recall that they had a similar approach to 
Heathkit -- they can be reached at 1-213-820-1234; alternatively, similar 
types of relays are available from the standard electronics supply 
houses, e.g., Mouser, Jade, and Newark (order a catalog from Newark at 
1-800-298-3133 x48 -- its not quite 1500 pages long!).

Anyway -- good luck
