[Central-Electronics] 100V antenna relay

[Jim DiMauro]

I use a 110 Volt Dow-Key relay with auxiliary contacts
that I use to mute my receiver.  I've used 110 Volt
relays on nearly all of my boatanchors without any
problems.  IMO, routing the receiver audio through the
100V is a bit clunky, unless of course your receiver
doesn't have a mute function.  Yes, 6, 12 or 24 Volts
is safer than 110 Volts, but then you have no business
blindly putting your paws behind the xmtr with the
thing plugged in anyway :-)
