Avionics (Radio Problem) Narrowed Down... I Think???

A quick Google shows the R40-etc. is a discontinued relay. It
would seem like a Rube Goldberg setup for a simple audio switching
panel. Unless it fancily switches comm 1/2 with simple pushbuttons
and indicator lights. Thence a latching relay, or more Rube
Goldbergian, with a monostable and a flip-flop? But if it has a
BOTH feature, then how we do that? :-)

We routinely use relays in audio panels for the simple reason that the mic
audio is a rather finicky beast that requires metal switching to perform
reliably. Trying to do it solid-state is a recipe for failure.
