most " SSB " on amps is done by adding a cap to slow up the drop out of the relay you can do this your self.

try experimenting with capicitors of same voltage rating but lower capacity to shorten the delay time for relay dropout.

sorry for the "Delayed"reply ashtray,just caught back up with this thread.I installed a 680uf/25volt in my palomar250(auto ssb) to get a better delay.the + side of the cap connects to the emitter of the switching transistor and the - goes to ground.you can also add a switch to cut it in and out.for shorter delay use a lower uf cap,longer delay use a higher uf.

I have a Palomar 250 Elite and want to add a switch to the cap so that I can turn off the delay when not running SSB. Does anyone know which cap it is? I'm only at home for today before I hit the road again and would like to know so that I can have a CB shop do it.

Thx.
