How does having that output being designed for a remote antenna switch 
negate it's use for a single antenna?
Of course all of my remote switches are direct controlled instead of 
having the control signal on the coax. I'd much rather have the extra 
cable.  So far using lightning protection circuits renders most of those 
inoperable, or they render the lightning protection devices ineffective.
