RX remote coax switch

06/10/2021

Received the necessary parts yesterday and we started building the RX switches.

I still had the connectors in stock, which in turn saved costs.
I don't use BNC's for any particular reason I just have a lot of stock of them.

As you can see it's not that hard to drill 5 holes and put the BNC's in and tighten them

Here they are almost ready just need to tuck in the DB9 so I can connect the control cables.
All parts come from RA0SMS, on this link you can visit his site.
Per switch it is 17 dollars without the box and only the pcb is 8 dollars.
Keep in mind that with the new legislation you will have to pay customs duties (import taxes).

So to justify the costs, I not only bought 2 of those switches, but also a sequencer and then the system to make the Delta RX loop.
More info about that on another page on this website (soon).

I will not decorate them further, but I just write the correct ports on the box with a marker.

Almost back the time of year to put the 9 RX back. We have not been idle in the meantime.

 

The remote coax switch for the RX antennas still need to be upgraded.

 

 

 

 

Still have to put the labels on it.
1 RX switch to my IC7600
1 RX switch to my Airspy HF+
