I posted this message on march 14 but I guess it never made it to the reflector, so I am posting again. -- Hi, all I am planning to buy the AMERITRON RCS-8V Remote Coax Switch (the other model, RCS-4
I have used two RCS-8 Ameritron remote switches for years. Use regular rotor cable and just use the 6 wires. Standard rotor cable works great for the Ameritron remote switches. You will like its perf

I used to control an RCS-8V with 250' of 8-conductor wire (two wires #18, six wires #22) with no problems. I used that cable because it was what I had. I tested the switch with 500 feet of #22 wire a
Rogerio, The correct wire of the Ameritron is 6-22 for most every installation, due to the very low current requirements. On longer runs 6-20 is a bit of assurance, but not until you pass 200 feet. T
Hi all, The system will work with over 5 volts of conductor drop. Even 50 ohms of loop resistance in the conductors should be safe. Number 26 copper is about .04 ohms per foot. That means you can use

Hi guys, Some weeks ago I asked for performance reports about the Ameritron RCS-8V Remote Coax Switch. The replies were great....but there is still a question.... The advertisement says that it has g
Carlos; PT2HO: The RCS-8V specs call for reduced power levels in those ranges. It has a very good track record. 73-GL- Jim Miller, K4SQR ______________________________________________________________
Carlos and all, is Does It works excellent up to 200 MHz, and starts to have ripple in SWR at 220 MHz. I do not consider it a "good switch" for 450 although you might get away with it for local conta
