Has anyone changed out the relays for pin diodes?

    It isn't that simple as you would have to redesign the RF boards.

    One of the concerns that FlexRadio didn't use Pin diodes was that Pin diodes can degrade IMD performance.

    Thanks for your reply. Then, is there a way to bypass the relays. I run ALE 24/7. Your interest is appreciated.

    I don't think there is any need to bypass the relays. We have many many users running ALE without issue.

    Are they running 24/7/365?

    I would assume some are, but I have no factual data to share with you.
