[TowerTalk] Remote Antenna switch - additional

[Dan Schaaf]

Well, that is good news and a cheap fix.
Maybe just disconnecting the coaxes and reconnecting them helped if they had 
a little corrosion on the connectors, the corrosion may have limited the  DC 
control current, thus not getting full current to the relays.
