____________________________________________________________________________
Doyle, the RCS-4 does not require any additional cable to control it.  It is
controlled via the current that is carried through the coax's center conductor
and is decoupled at the RCS-4 end by a capacitor and RFC.  Only the RCS-8
requires a cable to control the relays.
