I hate to disagree, but $225 each for a USED Dowkey Microwave "N" Transfer
Relay is anything BUT a good deal.  It is GROSSLY over priced.

Also on the same page as above: "New Teledyne "N" Transfer Relay
KC-CS-29N1S1 for $795 each."

I have yet to see ANY items for sale by Surplus Sales of Nebraska that were
fairly priced.

Check out new and used relays that are sold by Down East Microwave if you
want to find some decent deals.  Steve sells these for a fraction of what
you will pay at Surplus Sales of Nebraska.

DEM sells the NARDA DC-18GHZ 5W Termination, (Removed from Packaging, Not
Used!) for 5.00.  Surplus Sales of Nebraska sells the very same termination
for at least $20 each.

The Tohtsu CX-600NL, T/R switch, 1.5KW at 500 MHz, 30dB isolation, type "N"
conn. 12V  sells for $85.00.

DownEast Microwave's website is: http://www.downeastmicrowave.com/

Disclaimer:  My only connection with DEM is as a very satisfied customer for
more than 12 years.
