Replaced the TX/RX relay today. Was previously SPDT, now DPDT configured so that the RX port is shorted to ground during transmit for a bit more isolation. When I've got a 10W PA hanging off the other port, and only 10mW (1000x less) into the receiver will damage it, I want to be very sure that I've got all the isolation I can manage!
Relay is a Relpol RM822N-2112-85-S005. A quick look on my VNA shows >60dB from DC to 50MHz. That'll do...
Here's the circuit so far:
