- Joe, the RCS-8V gets its ground, normally, by the coaxial cable shield on the main feedline between the shack (station) and the RCS-8V relay switch box. You can add your own supplemental ground if yo

- The RCS-8V uses a control cable as the original poster stated. The RCS-4 uses the coax between the control box and the remote box and superimposes a rectified AC signal on the center conductor of the

- Hi Charlie, The RCS-8V that I have requires a separate ground wire, in addition to the 5-wire control cable, in order to function. Each of the five wires between the control box and the relay box (to

- I personally do not rely on the coax shield ground, myself -- simply because everything in the station is tied to a common earth ground, and so is my tower (grounded). However, if you disconnect the
