Sometimes, the simplest of solutions are appropriate for the most vexing of problems.
This is a test jig (well, this circuit x4) which I think will finally help us to find the lurking gremlins in a terribly complex RF switching matrix which eluded my predecessor. He was focused on incredibly complex RF sweeps with expensive test equipment, which got nowhere. I thought "Well, **** it. It may be incredibly complicated, but it's really just a large array of DC-powered relays arranged in a non-blocking, fully-spanning topology, which is 1950's era technology. So let's start by examining it discretely at the DC level, one frame at a time, with simple test gear."
Build photos to come after parts arrive. I could be wrong, but I think this is a good first step. Nobody has every tried a simple approach before.
There's nothing quite like a plan.
