Joe, the RCS-8V gets its ground, normally, by the coaxial cable shield on the main feedline between the shack (station) and the RCS-8V relay switch box. You can add your own supplemental ground if yo

The RCS-8V uses a control cable as the original poster stated. The RCS-4 uses the coax between the control box and the remote box and superimposes a rectified AC signal on the center conductor of the

Hi Charlie, The RCS-8V that I have requires a separate ground wire, in addition to the 5-wire control cable, in order to function. Each of the five wires between the control box and the relay box (to

sounds like you forgot the ground wire! 5 band positions plus ground = 6 possibilities. k4oj

the back of the control box has 1,2,3,4,5 AND GROUND (note just because it is a nit and not a screw doesn't mean it won't be a placwe to attach a wire!) Also note that when no power is applied the RC

I would not depend on the coax as your return for ground - what if you accidentally disconnect it from the rig (which has a common ground with the rest of the station....right?) You would never get a

I personally do not rely on the coax shield ground, myself -- simply because everything in the station is tied to a common earth ground, and so is my tower (grounded). However, if you disconnect the

Hi Great & Powerful Gurus, How would u go abt troubleshooting an RCS-8V remote ant switch between the INSIDE control box and the OUTSIDE relay box? Problem presented with a 'short' in the coax, ie, w
