[hpsdr] 200 watts through Alex

[Matthew J Wolf]

I would like to use a 180 watt AN762 Amp and outboard LPF with Alex. I 
would bypass the Alex LPF because the T-50 cores are only good for 100 
watts.  The relays on the Alex TX board are also only good for a 100 watts.

Would it be safe to pass 200 watts through 6m / Bypass rail on the Alex 
TX by replace some of the relays?


I'm thinking that relays: K5 ( T/R switch), K17 K18 K19 ( 6m / bypass ), 
and K14 (ANT3) would at minum need to be replaced. Would the TE 
Connectivity relay D3026 ( Digikey PB1118-ND ) be a suitable replacement 
relay? Its current and voltage ratings are double of the Omron G6H-2DC12 
relay.

Is my idea of replacing the relays valid?


-Thanks
