Hi, and Happy New Year!
I have a question regarding Dow Key Relays, for TX/RX antenna switching. Mt HT-37 and HT-41 manuals both say to use a Dow Key relay or switch for the antenna lead, to trigger when transmitting.

Recently I picked one up, an older model without the solenoid, but with a tube instead... It his a Dow-Key Co. Model DKC-TRM-1, using a 6EH5 tube.(I can use a 12EH5 for 12 vt heater operation) Its operating range is from 1.8 to 30 MC. 

I do have a copy of the installation instructions for this one, so I know how to hook it up. What I am not sure of is this- will it handle the output of either the HT-37 or the HT-41(100 or 1500 watts, respectively) with no problems?

Thanks!
73,
