Flex, Tim, et al, What should be the life expectancy of the relays on the RFIO board for QSK CW use? I think the relays should outlast me, so I've not been concerned. However, a few 5K owners have told me they have stopped using fast break-in CW in order to save the relays.
I have had Icoms and Ten Tecs for years with relays, not solid state switching, with no problem. I doubt a problem here. If Flex Radio came up with a new RFIO Board with a near silent relay, or even solid state, the "silent" RFIO board would sell like hotcakes and tie down ropes at a Pancake Fly-in with thunderstorms approaching.:) John , N3WT _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
