Default Re: Homebrew SSB Transceiver

With an SSB rig, if you're not talking the PA is only drawing bias current so 99.9% of the time you wont be switching large currents - DC side switching is fine.

10amp relay with two sets of contacts paralleled.

Metering - nobody meters anything except SWR and sometimes power out the spout these days.
