Hi Guys;
I'm building an '80's 50 watter and had this idea for a LNFB switch.  There are two series switches in the circuit.  The first is a back panel on-off-on mini.  The pole is tied to the junction of the 22m resistors.  One throw is grounded to disable the loop.  The center position keeps it stock.  The other throw goes to a relay in parallel (power and grounding-wise) with the OD relay.  On the relay switch, ground is the normally open position.
This way, I can turn it on, turn it off or just use it when the OD is kicked in.  I already had the mini.  I got it to do the 22m, 44m or n/c option but this seems more versatile.

Yup...if I weren't already using that other half of the OD relay to disable the Bright feature in OD, I'd be doing the same thing.  As it is, I'm looking for a way to gracefully mount another relay in there to do this.

Re: LNFB loop switch
This is a completely separate relay so one half isn't being used.  This one has the same ground as the OD so they switch simultaneously.   sh
