IF in 2: 75 ohm female BNC for 70 MHz IF signals as found in satellite
IF out: 75 ohm female BNC carrying either the IF-1 signal or the IF-2
RF out 1: 50 ohm SMA female RF L-band output version of the IF-1 input

should lie in the range -15 dBm to 0 dBm in order to guarantee
a correct level on the upconverted RF out 2 terminal
signal depending on redundancy switch state. The insertion
loss through the relay is just below 1 dB.
