IMHO to put it bluntly, any amp relay with T/R duties that won't close in 8 ms is obsolete and needs to be replaced by something modern.
Yep. And it's more than modern, it's CHEAP. That stuff from the MS company are all el cheapo grande. My Ten Tec Titans and Hercules amps, designed in the early 80s (the Titans by K4XU, I learned at Visalia this year), use quality vacuum relays and are VERY happy with 8 msec. Thank you, Dick, and thank you to the original Ten Tec gang, especially Al Kahn, K4FW, the true predecessor to Elecraft as a class act! Sadly, they're all SK. Al was one of the two founders of ElectroVoice, another very high class US company when they ran it.
