Instruction Manual

 

Desktop/Remote Six-Position Antenna Switch 

 

INTRODUCTION  

 
The 

MFJ-4716

 is a versatile multiple antenna switch designed to switch up to six 

50-ohm antenna systems. It handles high power, up to 1500 Watts and sealed 
relays offer excellent life and connection reliability.  The unit is operational from 
1-60 MHz and useable to 150 MHz. See Table 1 for the best antenna connection 
for your particular frequency. 
  
The MFJ-4716 Desktop/Remote Antenna Switch uses a simple rotary switch to 
select one-of-six antennas and connects those ports directly to a single common 
port for a feedline. Use the MFJ-4716 Desktop/Remote Antenna Switch on your 
desk or place it out-of-way under your desk or in another room and use a remote 
control. In the OFF/Remote position, all inputs are grounded or control is 
transferred to the MFJ-4716RC Remote Control. All unused inputs are grounded. 
You can connect a sense line to your transceiver so when it’s off all inputs are 
automatically grounded. 
 
The MFJ-4716 will work well in nearly any system requiring switching of coaxial 
lines, especially those requiring good quality 50-ohm RF switches. Any switch 
port can be used as either an input or output, so you can select one-of-six radios 
to one feedline or one-of-six antennas to a radio.
