Old school rules

I went to radio shack and could not find the momentary disconnect function I was looking for in other than a .5 Amp sub-miniature switch. The Pep-Boys dome light switch I tried was all over the map for on resistance 1.2 to .3 ohms or so. That made the turn on of the fuel cut-off solenoid unreliable. I used an old Volvo rocker switch I had that showed a consistant less than 0.2 ohms closed and that has worked great so far.

For the two meter theory, How about two rotameters, a stopwatch and an Abacus? Who needs electronics?
