Garey,
Thanks...so it looks like even if you don't use the remote antenna
switch it's a neat accesory for a C line with L4B and MN-2700?

Lee -
The "Powermaster" is fairly easy to replicate, just a bunch of holes to
cut! I would just put an electrical contactor (any electrical supply
place, Home Depot?) in the a 'remote' box with a 240 VAC connector on
it (if needed) and then hard wire a power strip(s) to it.
The "Antenna Switch" is a little tougher. The original is a 24V DC
motor driving a custom rotary switch to control the motor, ground
unused antennas and switch the antenna. There are eight wires to the
original 'remote'. A plain old rotary switch is a lot easier, although
several relays and a few connectors in a box could substitute for the
remote. The original remote is also designed for tower or other outdoor
mounting, which would save coax if you have four beams on your tower,
but ....
Which is why the basic C-4 without these accessories sells reasonably!
