Re: Triple Bi-Directional Router

2006-12-11 by riluttante

Hi Steve, Michael, John,

Thanks very much for the info!

Yeah, I looked at those pictures on Ken Stone's webpage. Looks like a relatively modest
design. I'll check with Rex if he can still make them once I'm ready to order a custom panel
(still waiting for my first non-custom panels to arrive though).

It's obviously a voltage controlled switch, not a multiple. I've seen versions with manual
switches on the panel too, but the standard version has just a "switch" pulse input and
three signal ins/outs that can be used both ways, I think.
