[TowerTalk] Ameritron RCS 8V Remote Coax Switch

[Keith Dutson]

20 gauge wire should work okay up to 150 feet.  To make sure, just wire it
up and give it a try.  My 8V has been used during the past 5 field days
only, so I do not have experience with long term outdoor use.

Easy Question for the group:

 Will  20 Ga wire be sufficient to power the 12vdc relays at a length of
140' - and does anyone have experience with the  reliability of this unit
and weather resistance of the box when exposed at the base of a tower?

I acquired the unit recently in apparently unused condition without manual.
The manual does not seem to be on the MFJ website.

Thanks for any info.
