I run coax to both ends, put a relay at each end that terminates the
beverage to it's resistor when no voltage is applied, but attaches the
beverage to the coax when activated. I send 12 volts up the coax to the end
I want to listen to. Wire to the relays would avoid the chokes associated
with using the coax for the dc relay voltage..John K9DX

>> Hi Topbanders...

>> Any information very much appreciated. Thanks and Bye.
