Hello, The Antenna relay socket is a simple crystal socket in my VKII's. I just took a useless metal xtal, unsoldered the shell and made an opening for a grommet and zip cord to go to the relay. Then resoldered and injected silicone glue past the cord. One of those things you do when it is needed. But when I get around to rebuilding the VK's will place a small 24 volt transformer or a relay inside and put pin jack sockets or whatever connector will mount in the holes without modification.
Definitely a dangerous spot for hot AC line voltage!! Can't imagine what EFJ was thinking there! A simple AC socket like on stereo amps would have been fine. Of course the line cord must be 3 wire polarized and properly fused. 73's Bill KB3DKS/1 ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
