[amsat-bb] Bias Tee was (no subject)

[kk0sd1 at att.net]

I know it isn't exactly what you were looking for... Back when I had a station I ran some cat5 cable out to the mast. I ran a bunch of switches in the shack and could independently do pre-amps, polarization changes, etc... It was pretty easy and fool proof, and kept my options open. None of this stuff draws much current, and cat5 is really cheap.

 Both Down East Microwave and SHF-Elektronik sell a bias tee.

What Radio are you using? Some can add voltage on the coax for you. For 
instance, the FT-847 can do it.

DEMI is $40-45.

For Coax switching, SHF-Elektronik has the CAS. You didn't mention power 
level....
