Coaxial Antenna Relay and Antenna switch For Sale:
B & W 377 Coaxial Antenna Relay
I had never seen one of these before. Most of us are familiar
with the Dow Key Antenna relays that many of us used 40 or 50
years ago. This unit serves the same function, but is somewhat
unique. It is also NOS.
The B & W 377 is housed in a hexagon box, that I assume is the
same as the box some of the B & W coax switches used. It has
three SO-239 connectors coming out three of the sides, a length
of wire on one side that goes to the coil of the relay, and two
sides that are blank.
The coil is rated to work on 48 to 130 volts AC, at 15 ma. The
original single page instruction sheet says that it is a unique
relay design permitting this large variation in voltage. It also
says it is good to 150 MHz, and will handle 2000 Watts PEP, or
1000 watts continuous.
It appears that this unit has never been used. It has the original
instruction sheet, and original box. The box has the tab partially
torn, but considering the age, is in nice shape. The unit itself
does not appear to have been used, and looks perfect. $75
Heath HD-1234 Coaxial antenna switch
This coax switch has SO-239 connectors arranged so the coax comes
out like the spokes of a wheel. It will switch up to 4 antennas,
and also ground all of the antennas. It works fine and looks fine
also. With mounting bracket and paper work for $35.
Prices do not include shipping from Florida.
Thanks.
