[Amps] [-] Re: Kilovac HC-2 Mounting Nut

[W8AEF]

When I modify my amplifiers for QSK using vacuum relays, I follow Richard 
Measurers, AG6K's method of making the mounting hole sightly larger than the 
relay and securing the relay to the chassis with 3 drops of Silicon Sealant 
(glue).  This method works very well and provides shock mounting for the 
relay which makes them very quiet in operation.
