[1000mp] MPV Driving SB220

[Pete Smith]

You can also play safe by putting a 220-ohm resistor in series with the switching lead to limit the current through the relay contacts; that device was published in QST many years ago, when relays in TS-930s like mine were being fried by the relay current - the stock SB-220 relay has no snubbing diode, which may be part or all of the problem.
