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

[jeremy-ca]

$45 is obviously a rip off for that relay. Since Ameritron makes a big deal 
about selling any individual part Id start there to get a more realistic 
resale price.

To find the source go to your local library and ask for the Thomas Register 
that covers the letter R. This is a reference book that cannot be removed.

Make a list of the pertinent info from the relay manufacturers; then its a 
matter of detective work.
