Steve, Older RCS-4 used open-face relays which are more of a problem for relay bounce. Newer RCS-4 use sealed small-signal relays. Getting one of the newer units may solve your problem. 73/Jon

Recently, it has developed a bad case of relay bounce causing an S9 spike every time I switch between antennas. Any suggestions on how to improve this ? Since it's only used for RX antenna selection, I'm amenable to replacing the relays with something else, although I have had issues before with other relays due to no current going through the contacts. Thanks and 73, Steve, N2IC _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
