That\'s an unabashed advert, of course, but I agree that
Pickering makes nice reed relays. I\'ve used them and I\'m
happy.

Reeds are expensive unreliable power hogs.

A cheap DPDT FTR-B3GA4.5Z-B10 is good at 3 GHz. There\'s a latching
version too.

Just don\'t water wash.

Yea, I have some of these:

18 GHz 300 W
https://www.ebay.com/itm/133870232177 $38
Did not pay that, mine came from the used supercooler for cellphone tower filter I bought.
Did not need the relays for cooling...
Have several read relays too,,

Those types are fabulous in test sets and such, but not on PC boards.

I recently used a bunch of ADRF5024 IC RF switches. 44 GHz. Expensive.
Work great.

It switches between signals mid-waveform, in around 6 ns.

I wonder what that Pickering thing costs.

Nice chip! will remember that,

it says 8 Euro 95 ex tax, say about 8$50 these days?
