[Johnson] Push to talk mod relay for Johnson Ranger

All: Let me ask a question here.  Mr. Scott, full shields...this is a tough
crowd.

Why not rectify the DC filament voltage (I believe it's ground-referenced)
and use a suitable low-voltage DC relay?  They are far easier to come by,
and the job is done basically the same, AND the B+ supply is not on the mike
connector (through the relay, to be sure, but still there)?

It may not be original, but does it really matter (other than to the
absolute purist)?

Incoming!

Not a chance. Entirely different thing.
