[AMRadio] WTB: Coax relay, 110VAC, aux contacts

[Bob K6UJ]

Bud,

I am very interested in the MFJ 1708.  I need a relay to use with my newly acquired Johnson Viking 2
along with a Collins R388.  Also plan to use my Elecraft K3 for receive only along with the Johnson Viking 2  when the going gets tough.
I've been trying to decide on what to get,  the 1708 sounds like it will do everything I need.  I'll check it out.
Thanks for posting the info. Anyone else using the 1708 ?

73,
Bob
