	I don't have a single patch bay, nor do I want one. I have 
the Logitek router/console system, but I depend on a 
Broadcast Tools passive switcher to decide what goes on the 
air. On the back of that switch are A3 pigtails, so that if 
that switch would go bad, I can bypass it very fast. I like 
the BT passive switchers, as there are no electronics, and 
if you pull the power to the unit, it falls to channel 1, 
which is usually the board for that station.

	This method bypasses all the problems of a patch bay, and 
allows me to have announcers bypass a bad board at the tap 
of a switch.
