[Amps] Best source for Gigavac GH-1 ?

[MU 4CX250B]

 Is the gigavac GH1 the clone of the Jennings RJ1a or kilovac HC1? if
so, either of those would be an acceptable and possibly superior
substitute. The bigger question is why you have had to replace them
every three years. Properly sequenced so as to avoid hot switching,
they should last many years. I have had Jennings RJ1a relays last
decades in my QSK homebrew amplifiers. I haven't tested the clones,
but the Jennings relay switches in about 2 ms and has no contact
bounce.
