Hello Matt,

I've been using Tyco RTB14012F SPDT relays (12 V DC ~30 ma. nominal op.
current) in all my remote antenna switching arrangements.  Run 1500 Watts
RTTY, SO2R.  All the relays are controlled by non-hot switching circuit
made up of a single IC and some xsistors (circuit has been published).
Digikey, Mouser, etc. carry them.

  73,
  Mike, K4GMH
