[TowerTalk] What relay do Ameritron and Array Solutions use intheir coax switchs?

[Tom McAlee]

I don't know the manufacturer.  But, if your goal is to obtain some, you can 
buy those relays from Array Solutions: 
http://www.arraysolutions.com/Products/ratpak.htm#relay

Scroll to the bottom.  You'll see he sells the relays individually for $45 
each... same relays used in the RatPak, SixPak, etc.

If you really just want to know who makes them, perhaps if you call or email 
Jay he will tell you.
