TT, I inherited a RCS4 Antenna Switch from an estate. When first installed it generated noise when using the 1,2 or 3 switch positions. The default is #4. Did some Google'ing and found discussion abo

Tom, I think it is better to drill out the steel rivits and install SS bolts, nuts and tooth washers (all stainless) than just solder a wire between all SO-239's. If not you still have a corroded con

Before you start drilling the case, you might want to try using power from your nice stable, ripple free, high current station power supply instead of the wall wart that comes with the RCS 4. 73, Mic

T/T, This RCS4 has a built in power supply. No wall wort. When switching unit is brought in to the bench, there is no noise, only when placed at the tower. Noise goes away when power is off or in the

Sounds like the diodes and coax are rectifying RF from some strange, outside source. Try putting bypass capacitors across the diodes in the remote unit. 73 Don N8DE T/T, This RCS4 has a built in powe

Hi Tom, Study the schematic ... IIRC, the #4 position uses no power, so that is why it may seem to be 'quiet'? (And it means that antenna is always going connected when the power is OFF, think that o

IIRC Mine had Aluminum Rivets. They are also hard wired. No decoding required. Over the years, I've had to rebuild them a couple of times because of corrosion of the UHF connectors. I prefer to keep
