Hi:
My Shelby Hamfest acquired ART 13 is close to completion. My home made power supply is huge and heavy but can do the job.
My question is: what is the tradional way to flip the antenna from the transmitter to the receiver and vice versa? My guess is to use a relay wired to the primary of the plate supply transformer to control an antenna relay and mute contacts. Is that about right? The mating receiver will be a HQ 170, R 388 or possibly a Heathkit Mohawk.
How did Uncle Sam do it in an aircraft back in the bad old days?
Thanks
