[TowerTalk] My 2c about Relays

[alex]

Usually, we do not need QSK. And the sequencing is done by the processor so
it comes "free".
It is easier to integrate the named relay than a vacuum one. This is not to
say we are not using, now and then, a vacuum relay :) However, most of
our units must be tested at 50Gs sinusoidal and we have not found
yet a VR to survive 30Seconds in this test.
