[Drake] Remote ant. sw

Larry -

Well, since this is a Drake reflector and you're asking here, perhaps 
it's a remote unit for either the DRAKE C-4, RC-4, or CS-7 Remote 
Antenna Switch??

If so, it expects 24 VAC @ 2A to activate the motor.  ??    The Common 
is Pin 8 of the terminal strip, and Pins 1 - 5 select each antenna.  Pin 
6 Grounds all antennas.

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.
