MFJ-4712 2-Position Remote Antenna Switch
Remote Two-Position Antenna Switch

INTRODUCTION

The MFJ-4712 is a versatile multiple antenna switch designed to switch two 50-
ohm antenna systems. It handles high power, up to 1500 Watts and sealed
relays offer excellent life and connection reliability. The unit is operational from
1-60 MHz and useable to 150 MHz. You can run coax to distant devices allowing
them to be placed anywhere regardless of power availability. The MFJ-4712 will
work well in nearly any system requiring switching of coaxial lines, especially
those requiring good quality 50-ohm RF switches.
The MFJ-4712 2-Position Remote Antenna Switch uses a simple slide switch to
select one-of-two antennas and connects those ports directly to a single common
port for a feedline. All unused inputs are grounded.
The MFJ-4712RC Remote Control is used to inject DC voltage onto coaxial lines.
The DC voltage is separated from the RF signal by the MFJ-4712 external unit
on the terminating end (See Figure 1).
