Hello to the Group, Anyone have any dealings with the Ameritron RCS-8V Remote Coax Switch ? One feedline into the shack sounds like a good idea so I purchased one of these critters. After a look insi
I own this switch -- the model equipped with UHF connectors. It is also available with N-type connectors. I've found that the switch remains relatively "flat" well up past 50 MHz -- I feed my 6M yagi
I have an 8V and had trouble. Couldn't get the intermittent SWR problem solved. Called Ameritrion and asked if I could purchase just the switch portion (ie., the outside relay portion). I was told th
