I recently purchased a ham radio tower and it had a remote coax switch mounted to it. It is the Ameritron RCS-4 Coax Switch which is a remote relay coax switch. There is a control box down next to your transmitter and then the control box adds a DC voltage to the coax along with your signal from your radio. The DC voltage lets the relays know which antenna you have selected. I wanted to open it up to make sure there was no corrosion or lightning damage inside of it before I tested SWR across the bands. So I took a video. Enjoy!
