Do you have schematics for the Pegasus? Someone mentioned they were
available for the asking but when I called the Tentec repair number they
said they didn't think they were available yet. They are still using their
original shop copies. Maybe I should call the sales number. I was thinking
about using relays connected as you mentioned to switch antennas but now
that I have the version 1.63 software I can use the antenna switch
provided by Log-EQF via the printer port. That should work for a linear as
well and is easier to get at than tearing into the Pegasus.
