Four + Four Switch Features

  • every one of two (2) independent antenna ports can be switched to one of four (4) radio ports on HF and 6m band
  • heavy aluminium case thickness 4mm (158 mils), IP 66 provides high level weather protection and RF proof capabilities
  • SO239 UHF or N teflon™ / gold pin connectors used
  • 10kV surge strength, high power 16 Amp boxed relays made
  • stub compensated microstrip PCB architecture assures lowest SWR and insertion loss from 1.8 to 60 MHz
  • built-in surge protection
  • compatible with all 12V source driver band decoders
  • top cover screws protected against loss (very useful at tower)
  • easy wall or tower assembling thanks to special galvanized heavy double C-bolt, which allows using various diameter of the tower tube
  • unselected radio ports are grounded
  • without power all antenna ports are grounded, radio ports are opened
  • special "FIRST ONE WIN" logic
  • each device is individualy trimed and tuned for best performance

SWR and isolation :

Frequency SWR Insertion loss Isolation
1.8 MHZ 1.01 < 0.01 dB < 110 dB
14 MHZ 1.01 < 0.01 dB < 95 dB
28 MHZ 1.02 < 0.02 dB < 80 dB

values are typical

all measurments were performed with HP8714B network analyzer

- SWR is measured from input to any antenna port - Isolation is measured between unselected radio port and antenna port switched to another radio port 50 ohm terminated
