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 #4 default position.
Just curious if anyone has experienced this before???

    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 about corrosion on the
    SO239's mounted to the base plate.
    Ran a ground wire across the SO239's to the circuit board. Cleaned
    up some of the other connections.
    All seemed well and much improved. This past weekend the noise
    returned and was sometimes intermittent.
    Switch is located about 450 feet out at the towers. Fed with 7/8
    hardline.
    This unit was manufactured in 1992, so could be anything.
    Any thoughts on what I may be missing or failing in the switch to
    eliminate the noise.
