[amsat-bb] Protecting Downconverters

["Mike Koenig" <mlkoenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I have a solution to prevent frying a downconverter:

Use a DPDT switch for the power to the converter.

Wire one side to switch power to the converter. Bring the PTT line out of
the radio and use the other side of the switch to break the PTT line when
the power to the converter is in the ON position.

Anyone try this yet??
