[TowerTalk] Polyphaser question

To add to RR's comments:  The Ameritron box that uses the coax switches
between 4 possible antennas.  These are selected by no voltage, +12, -12, and
12vac.  Not only does the PolyPhaser block the DC, it blocks 60 cycle AC, so
your Ameritron setup will not work at all with those PP units.  I just went
through all this and decided to use the 5 position Ameritron, which requires
its own cable.
