[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 879911, member: 325666"] Are these basic switches still available in the UK ? I have an old global one for indoor use ..which I currently have outside wrapped in a plastic bag ..but I'd like to replace this with a more modern lower loss version ..that I can leave outdoors .. Basically I have 3 lines to Carl ..all of which are currently in use .. Ku, Ka(band D) , Ka (band A (SL3) ...but have recently added a C band lnb .. Thus I need 4 lines in theory .. This isn't practical .. So ..just before I dropped off to sleep the other night.. It came to me .. Double up on one of the lines feeding an LNB that DOESN'T require 22Khz functionality..and thus WONT be influenced by a 22khz tone on the line. Can't use the SL3 ..this would switch to ku circular .. Can't use Ku ...this would band switch the unit ..and this control is needed. Which leaves the Ka linear XMW .. Not influenced in any way by 22KHZ ...as is the C band lnb .. Perfik.. So I've seperated the Ka line into 2 through a continuous 22khz tone switch .. Tone off ..the line is diverted for XMW ka use.. Tone on ..the line is repurposed for C band use .. Tried it and it works .. I can still lock the Azam mux Ka 7East ....by using Diseqc 1.1 (channel 6) 22khz tone off .. with little noticeable degredation in signal level.. Switched to Cband 5 west locking CRTV on Carl ...using diseqc 1.1(channel 6) 22khz tone on All appears working just fine ..BUT where to get a waterproof exterior use 22khz simple continuous tone swich ?? Yep they still use 'em in the States and Canada ...but not over here of course.. Typical.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
