Remote antenna switch

[VE4BLB]

Does anyone make a two or three position coax switch that is mounted outside a building and switched from within the shack?

I assume you mean "switched electrcially".

First thing I think of for a "2 position coax switch" is a coaxial relay.  Lots of those around.

For 3 or more there are a number of choices from MFJ to Agilent depending on your performance requirements.

I have the Ameritron RCS-4.  I think this 4 port switch would serve your needs.

I second the Ameritron switches. They have several different types and I have owned several of them over the years and none of them ever gave me any problems. I currently use the RCS-8V and it works great.

I recently installed an Ameritron RCS-8V on the tower.

Wish I had done this years ago. One coax line into the shack for 80, 40, 20, 17, 15, 10 and 6 Meter vertical. One open switch to be used and it will be used!

I have gone from numerous coax runs into the shack to 3 at the current time. Sure makes unhooking during storms a lot easier. 

The RCS-8V covers up to 250 Mhz. So you can run a 2 meter antenna on it if need be.

You will need 8 wire control cable from the inside switch to the remote switch. I used CAT cable for that hookup.
