[NLRS] warning: G5V relays are quite fragile

[Chris Cox]

For those of you with late model DEMI transverters, I thought I'd give you 
a heads up.  I have now managed to destroy THREE of the G5V relays used on 
the older PIN and the current TC I/F switch.  These relays are rated for 
about 2 amps and if that is exceeded for more than a few hundred 
milliseconds they will fail.

I guess I learn the hard way (remember I said THREE above!) and have just 
destroyed the last new one I had.  I will be scrounging the parts bin for 
another or ordering more from Digikey before this weekends 10GHz 
cumulative.
