Topband: RCS-4 - Beverages

 Wondered whether anyone could shed some light on this situation.  I have an
 Ameritron RCS-4 antenna switch that is fed with about 600 feet or so away
 with 3/4" CATV hardline.  Currently there are three beverages, each with
 their own matching transformer and separate feedpoints connected.  The
 signals on the unused Position #3 seem to be the same as Position #4 which
 is where a Northeast Beverage is connected.  At least some of them are
 switching since I can see a significant difference between a Northeast and 
a
 Northwest, for example.  However, I have not been back down with an ohm
 meter to see whether Position #3 is acutally switching separately from
 Position #4.

 Anyone know what might be happening?  I will try to do some investigation
 this weekend, although it is an experience to get to where this thing is
 located down the side of a bluff.

 Thanks...Stan, K5GO
