Re: [TowerTalk] Siamese type Coaxial Cable with /4 wire needed.

[n8de@thepoint.net]

Why the 4-wire control cable?

You can use the coax for switching ... I invented the idea in the  
70's... it's very much like what is in the ARRL Antenna Handbook (and  
the ARRL Handbook) ...
similar switching is available from MFJ/Ameritron .. and was used by  
Drake and Heathkit years ago.
Just need to build a small blocking circuit at each end of the coax.
