- Hello all, I'm thinking about an inline switch in an antenna wire. E.g. to press a 40m dipole into service on 20m. Like a trap, but hopefully with less loss. What would be your suggestion: use DC (ho

- A switch like this would typically need several ma of current to activate. For this reason I would not use RF. I do not think it is practical. Use a trap instead. 73, Keith NM5G Hello all, I'm thinki

- I think he was thinking about a DC control signal. However, you raise a fascinating idea. A small latching relay doesn't take much energy to actuate (a few milliseconds of 30 mA at 24V, for instance)

- Jim, Well, at first I was indeed thinking about switching with RF, but using e.g. a 144MHz RF signal to switch the relays in my 20/40m dipole. I had doubts because of the possible 'RFI' that my HF si

- G3XJP published his 'Pic-a-Switch' a few years ago in Radcom. This sensed the rf frequency and used relay(s) to select the operating band(s). Unfortunately I have mislaid the copy in which it was pub

- I believe N6RK has posted in the past his use of latching relays to band switch a LF vertical - perhaps close to what PA4N is thinking of doing? Getting power out to a relay like that is pretty easy,

- That might work. The other idea about RF detection, used to trigger a latching relay has some merit if the relay is used at the right location. If you use the relay to disconnect the end segment of a
