Ralph,
A reed relay is a fragile device and may not survive the transient current
and voltage spikes present when switching the SB200 relay. Be sure to have
your friend bring a relay robust enough to handle the load presented by the
relay coil in the SB200.

Tnx for your comments, guys.
I'm at VP5W, and no Radio Shack on the island :-(
I did bring a little relay interface, but the reed relay has given up the
ghost. Fortunately, we have one op coming from Seattle next week, and he
can bring a replacement.
It is a borrowed SB-200, otherwise I would have installed a soft-key mod.
Oh well....
Elecraft had better hurry with their KPA800!
