Here are a couple of new additions that went up as a result of my Gizmotchy antenna review: an Ameritron RCS-8v remote coax switch and an AR-35 rotator.
First, here is a pic of the remote coax switch. This part goes on the tower and run your feed line to the center connector. You can hook up to 5 antennas to this remote switch.
Here is the inside of the switch, wired up with CAT 5 cable:
You can see that it's basically just 5 heavy duty relays controlling the coax ports.
You install this upside down on your tower or mast and seal up the coax like this:
Here is the coax switch installed just below the AR-35 rotator. This rotator will work just fine for any antenna up to the size of a large TV or 2 meter antenna:
Here are the controls for both devices. Small, simple, and without much footprint.
So far, everything is working just as described!
