Hey guys, tell me if you think this will work.
I do not have a 12 volt c/ku external switch for my analog receiver. It has a 12 volt output for an external switch via an extra "F" connector on the back that energizes at 12 volts dc when you push the KU band button on the remote.
Could i use a small shielded project box from the Ratt Shack with a DPDT relay that has a 12 volt coil. Solder small jumpers observing polarity to female "F" connectors that are mounted on the box.
There would be four "f" connectors.
1. 12 volts in from receiver
2. out to reciever from the relays "common contacts"
3. c-band input to the normally closed contacts
4 Ku band input to the normally open contacts.
I can build this in just a few minutes with a small drill, wire strippers, and soldering iron.
Does it sound like something that would work?
Thanks - Trucker
