    Thanks Steve but I want to control the Remote ON connector with an AC detecting NO relay. I do not want to go the route of switching on and off the radio PS.

    Keith, this is just what you want and is on the Digital Loggers website as Steve says. You do need to feed it 120 VAC but when you do the relay closes and you get a dry contact closure to bring the Remote On pin to ground. This is how I do it at my station with a Digital Loggers AC power switch.

    Are we talking about the AC relay or another Digital Loggers product?

    I paid $8.95 each for two when I bought them on Amazon a little over a year ago.

    One for remote PTT and one for remote On/Off.

    Yes, I purchased several DL AC Relays at that price ($8.95) last year.

    The AC Relay that Ernest is speaking of is NOT the one that Keith is looking for. Keith wants (and ordered) the $8.95 unit.

    DLI doesn't help anyone by calling the two products AC Relays.

    I have called them a few times and they are very good.  I asked for a version of their big AC power switch to have some dry contact relays on it which would work for us.

    I did open it up and saw they are using a ULN2809 (I hope I remembered that right) to drive the 8 AC device, so I might parallel one of those for a dry contact for remote and PTT.

    Ernest, please look at this Digital Loggers webpage  http://www.digital-loggers.com/ac.html  This is the relay you want, it's $8.95. They quoted you their iOT Relay which is much more money.
