 Hi Gary,
    Earlier this year I bought the Hamplus AS-61WL, sold through DXE.
    My run from the shack to the top of the tower is LMR400 and close to 350' 
out and up.    As a basic 6 position switch with band data control it works 
well for me, so far no issues.        The other positive for me was the switch 
housing is powder coated metal, not a POLY or plastic.    My old RCS-4 and two 
other brands have used needed fiber-glassed repairs     in the plastics from 
hail damage.  We get several Texas hail storms per season.
    YMMV

 Rodents again found my control wire for my 
Ameritron RCS-8V coax switch. I was 
thinking this is the time to get a remote 
switch that can send the signal through 
the hardline and not worry about chipmunks 
or whatever. 

I have a 375' distance between the shack 
and the remote switch and need at least 5 
positions, more would be used. Ameritron 
sells one that does what I want except it 
has 4 positions. DXE has nothing except 
that one Ameritron, all the rest need 
control wires.

Anyone know of a coax switch that does 
what I am looking for?


73,
