||
|
|
|

|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

This is a remote antenna switch I use in my attic to connect transceivers
|
||
|
|
in the basement to multiple antennas in the attic. There is only one antenna
|
||
|
|
cable going up to the attic which is why an antenna switch is needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The goal of this project is to be able to remotely connect one of the
|
||
|
|
antennas in the attic to the only antenna cable available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since I only have two antennas in place at the moment, I only installed
|
||
|
|
two relays and only wired up two PL sockets. In the future I'll be able
|
||
|
|
to upgrade easily by adding a second module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Hardware
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Drill the holes for the PL sockets:

Install the sockets:

|
|
|
||
|
|
Mount the relay module and use some antenna wire to connect the sockets with the relay module like this:

In the end it looks like this:
