Hey Dave & Roger.

On this...

It's been years since I hacked into one of those.  Mebbe 40+.  But I thot
the "antenna relay" was just selected by the tx control box & not the
key line.

In acft I've seen all TX antenna leads pictured as tagged together.
Key line sure cud select OK & thing'd be electrically consistant, but
whatta rattler!

My 274N hf book out on loan so only way to confirm is turn a complete 
one over & look.

If that antenna relay up-front/up-top cycles w. key - wow,  Dave ur 
advice FB

reitterating...
