[TowerTalk] Crossover Transfer Relay

[W5KI at aol.com]

Jim,
 
Agree.  And thanks for your later comments about failure of one  of the ABSS. 
 Something I didn't consider for Ken, since I use a  single transfer switch 
here (the 300-11002-2 you mentioned [below],  good to 1 Ghz.)

I think  you were searching with the wrong term...

You mean what's called a  "transfer switch" in the RF switch business?  A 
and B are connected to  either C and D or D and C, respectively?

1500 W PEP or  average?

http://www.surplussales.com/relays/rfcoaxialrelays/rfcoax_n.html   (first 
google hit) has a Transco 310C00100 for $375. It's rated 1kW at  1MHz

Or the 300-11002-2 for $345, rated at 1.5kW to 1GHz

Or the  12W1008, 2kW, for $275
