RCS-8V HF to VHF/UHF Remote
Coax Switch
Ameritron’s
Remote Coax Switch lets you remotely switch up to five separate antennas using
one inexpensive small control line (like standard telephone wire). Eliminate a
tangle of troublesome coax and have a simple and neat installation with just a
single feed line.
The RCS-8V consists of two units, the weatherproof switching box that mountson
your tower or mast and the control unit that’s placed at your operating station.
VSWR is less than 1.2 from DC to 250 MHz and less than 0.1 dB loss at 150 MHz,
great for the HF/VHF/UHF operator.
It handles over 5 kW below 30 MHz and 1 KW at 150 MHz. You can ground unused
positions or leave them open.
The indoor control unit is all metal to prevent RFI and TVI. It also has LEDs to
indicate the antenna you’ve selected. A Lexan scratch-proof panel has a markable
surface for labeling your antenna posi- tions.
Use any 6 conductor control line (not
supplied) and allows safe operation with 14V control voltage.
