[TowerTalk] ? AMERITRON REMOTE COAX SWITCH

[Jerry]

I have an 8V and had trouble.  Couldn't get the intermittent SWR problem
 solved.  Called Ameritrion and asked if I could purchase just the
switch portion (ie., the outside relay portion).  I was told the old
relays had been replaced with enclosed relays.  After I swapped it out
(about $80 later) it worked and continues to work just fine.  I would
think a new unit would now have the enclosed relays.
