[TowerTalk] M2 20M5 SWR - WX0B SIXPACK

[N2TK, Tony]

Does anyone have the part number of the relays used in the 6-pack? We have
intermittent problems at KP2 with a 6-pack. Usually cleaning the relays once
in a while alleviates any problems during the contest. Maybe there is an
enclosed relay that would be better for salt environments and is a direct
replacement?

Hi,

Well, really not good after know I bought a $450 box and will not be able to
use it all times.

I have all setup properly, according to sixpack manual it´s connected to a
reliable 13.8V power supply (same Kenwood PS I used to power the radio) and
not to a 12V wall plug supply.

So if I need to change for another power supply for more than 13.8 volts
just will be different as the manual suggest.

Anyway, I use it for MS or SO2R contests, so I need to use it, but need it
to work properly.

I think that any box you add to the station is decreasing the quality of the
setup. You need all this for a easy way to change bands, antennas, protect
RX, but seems hard to find the right one.

Thanks to all the people for the feedback!

Happy New Year 2010!!
