General discussion forum / Antenna Switch 1289- RF issue
« on: 2014-12-22, 15:39:45 »
Hi,
I have just attempted to install an Antenna Switch 1289 at my remote location.
There was no issue to make a network connection etc.
When I attempted to use it on HF, at around 220 W out, there was an RF issue and some other relays in the switch started to pick up.
When tested on UHF, 2m FM, it had RF issues at 50 watts (few unselected relays picking up).
I tried to disconnect the network cable, place ferrite on supply, used different power supplies.
It seems to me that an issue is created directly on the antenna switch electronic board.
Anyone experience such an issue and was a cure found?
I am using two web switches 1216 with RAT pack and never had an issue with RF.
Actually until this unit was installed, I had no RF issues with remoterig gear.
