[TowerTalk] Lightning: Ameritron box OK

[Barry Kutner]

Hi all - Progress report:

The Ameritron box itself was OK. I had some of my own circuitry in 
there to autoswitch the relays w/my FT-1000. Two of the 5 1N914s were 
shorted and caused the 1A fuse to blow. Since I now use a Top Ten 
Deivce box, instead, I just removed the diodes and the RCS-8V works 
just fine. So, the shack comes out totally unscathed (that's what's 
important, isn't it?)

Heat pump-A/C unit blew a xfmr, now fixed. Garage door opener only 
had to be reset by unplugging it. Onwards...
