Sometimes, an error can lead to a postive conclusion.
I made a mistake about the button on the side of the V-1 transmitter.
It is a "reset" function for the relay- the opposite of what I first
thought.
So the relay is latched with the electrical contacts and "unlatched" with
the button on the side. Had I not made this error, I would not have
gotten the idea that this was a "one way trip" kinda thing.
I probably wouldn't have started thinking about what application made sense,
or noticed that it had the same form factor as the JB-2's T-13 transmitter.
I'd probably have written it off as some unidentifiable DFing thing.
Once in awhile, a wrong turn goes to a better destination ;-)
