[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1063749, member: 176704"] The (quite old!) [URL='https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spaun-SAR-Sat-Antennen-Relais-mit-Klemme/dp/B000KPQAOU']Spaun SAR 12/F[/URL] antenna relay that I'm using is, I think, just a solenoid controlled (I think I can hear the solenoid working when I activate it) mechanical coaxial-switch which is activated via an externally switched cable from a 12V dc supply - and that external supply switching is provided by the RF R/C switch from a 230Vac/12Vdc "power brick" (which, in my case, is an 8A one which also supplies a number of other units in the lounge AV stack). This one is not water-proof by any stretch of the imagination, and so is for indoor use only - as I assume are the Primesat boxes. OTOH, most (all?) DiSEqc switches incorporate electronic diode (etc.) switching and are generally waterproof and so OK for outdoor use. [/QUOTE]
