4-way switch for Bi-directional beverages manual

This is two port antenna switch - middle box between pair of Bi-directional antennas with single coax output. It allows you to control ALL 4 directions over one coax cable. Directions are controlled by the voltage over the coax (0, +12V, -12V and AC).

- Use right resistor (for 50 Ohm coax line use 100R/2W and for 75 Ohm coax line use 150R/2W

- Place LED diode in right polarity (longer leg is + and is connected to GND on PCB)
- You can use Glue gun to fix F connector
