Hi,

I finally did a first prototype of an interface to link two K2/KPA100  
on one multi-band HF antenna using Don W3FPR schematic. For my first  
"from scratch" project, it is not too bad. I first began to do a PCB.  
I used two fast SPDT 16A relays from Omron and SO-239 connectors are  
Amphenol.

I will try it tonight.... But on the bench test, everything was  
working fine... Maybe I will need to put a few caps to filter some  
RF, I'm not sure.... I will tell you later tonight. This is my first  
prototype version... My « main goal » is to have a interface like  
this one, but also one mic and one paddle for 2 radios.

Unfortunatly, I forgot to take picture of my PCB. But I will put  
Don's schematic on my website this week.

Take a look... http://homepage.mac.com/jfmenard/PhotoAlbum55.html

P.S. Many thanks to Don W3FPR for his help. ;-)
