Thanks Jim,

I have both a BC-442 and an ATA/ARA antenna relay.  I never have tried
them.

Does anybody know whether using a 60Hz AC current through the relay and a
precision resistor and using an accurate AC voltmeter to measure the
voltage drop would be a proper way to test the thermocouples?

Maybe I'm a little off topic, but the latest catalog supplement of Fair
Radio had unused RF thermocouples used in the BC442 antenna relay
box.  Price is $5.00 each, or 3 for $10.00.  Part number is ARC-7499.  I
just ordered some a few minutes ago, so have not seen them.  Salesman said
they have a good stock, but there are plenty of orders.  I couldn't find
them on their web site  www.fairradio.com, so phoned in the order.
