    Description

    This is new old stock, but well tarnished silver plated.   It has been tested to perform continuity wise.   Should be good at over 1000 watts easily and to 1 Ghz.  (I am guessing a little at the max power, but I do have much experience in the field). I could not find the exact specs.  Each port is BNC Female and they still have the caps on them.
    This one has a little bend in one of the standoffs.  It has been straightened, it's not perfect but workable.
    Each antenna port has a relay (solonoid) that is rated at 28VDC.  I found that they all pulled in at less than 14VDC.   So you could easily run 15-26 VDC for your remote antenna control.  All you need is a signal pole, 12 throw rotary switch or a bank of toggles switches, and the wiring, the power supply and the "know how".
    As each relay is energized, it connects that port to the common port.   If a port is not energized, the antenna port is grounded (center continuity to ground).  This is a real good way to do an antenna switch, as all you have to do is remove all power and the antennas are totally grounded during a storm.   The input is in an open position when no relay is energized.
    This would make a great remote antenna switch project.   A set of switches to each coil would let you chose which antenna is selected.   This is way more durable and reliable that the typical remote ham antenna relay.  And this one will work at UHF or VHF as well as HF.
