Remote Antenna Switch, 8 Port, 5kW Key-Down, Each

RR8B-HP Remote Antenna Switches are RF antenna switches with excellent performance on HF and 6 meters. Using 16 custom, sealed, moisture-resistant relays, these Remote Switches provide the best port-to-port isolation available with reliable, long-term performance. RR8B-HP switches can be used as conventional one-of-eight antenna switches or configured to simultaneously select multiple output ports, allowing their use in complex antenna phasing and stacking systems. DX Engineering RR8B-HP switches use a removable screw-terminal control cable plug that greatly simplifies installation by eliminating the need for disassembly or soldering to wire the control lines. These remote relay boxes are custom-made on a revised stainless steel chassis with integral mounting bracket flange, and include a special RF shielded high impact thermoplastic cover. There is also a custom conductive gasket to complete the seal between the cover and stainless steel housing base. A DX Engineering V-Bolt Saddle Clamp is included to mount the RR8B-HP on any tower leg or pipe sized from 1 to 2 in. O.D.
