Larry,

As I recall the predecessor to Ameritron made these switches under 
several brand names.  Does it look like this one:

If so you can download the manual from the site.  I have used one with 
my 4 element quad for a number of years without problem.

What i'd like to know is what kind of voltage came from the control unit to activate the switch in the remote antenna box.  No markings whatsoever and the control box only puts out about 16-20 VAC, clearly not what it takes to run the remote unit.  I don't think.  At least it didn't when i tried it. surely they wouldn't run 110V up that line, maybe 48 or so?  Help.
