If you are using a remote antenna switch that feeds the control signal
or power up the coax, you need to make sure that your chosen protector
doesn't have a DC open in the thru path or a short to ground. At W6VIO,
we have some suppressors not yet installed because they are incompatible
with the RCS-4 remote switches.
