[Amps] Ameritron AL-1500 inquiry

[Larry Benko]

Jim,

Look at TE Connectivity (Schrack) RT31C0xx which has the same footprint 
with bifurcated contacts.  This will fix the intermittent RX issues.  I 
have a web page with the datasheet at 
http://www.w0qe.com/Technical_Topics/small_signal_relays_at_rf.html
