Very 

Simplified

 Control Logic

 

 

 

When selecting the various switch positions, the first control console that selects a particular position 

has precedence. This means if Radio “A” selects output port #3, them Radio “B” cannot use port #3 at 

the same time. Radio “B” will not connect to port #3. The operator will know that there is no antenna 

selected since there will be no audio from any signals coming into Radio “B”. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

very simplified

 schematic is shown: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Master Radio “A” and Slave Radio “B” can never use  
the same output port at the same time. 
(Ports not selected are grounded) 
 
 

 

Caution: 

Never switch antennas while transmitting. Hot switching with power will create a 

sustained arc that damages relay contacts. 

When switching ports, allow 15 ms before transmitting 

to avoid damaging the switch. This type of damage is 

NOT

 covered under warranty.
