[Kenwood] TS-870 Antenna Relay ?

[DJ5IL@aol.com]

Hello,

can anyone who definitely knows please tell me if the antenna
transmit/receive relay in the TS-870 (K302 on the FINAL UNIT
X45-351X-XX E5) is a Reed or a conventional relay ? Some
folks insist that it's a Reed, but for me it looks & sounds like a
conventional one. What's the truth ? (don't mix up with K301
which switches between ANT1 and ANT2, that one is definitely
a conventional relay ...)
