[Drake] Remote ant. sw

[richard radke]

Larry,
If it is in fact an RSV-8V, mine uses 12V dc to control the relays.   
I've had it quite awhile and works great.  Isolation at a KW doesn't  
appear to be an issue.  I've always liked the idea of switching and  
grounding all the antennas outside the house.  If your in need of a  
manual, let me know.
