AB Switches and two Satellite Dishes

[brianfickling]

In my RV I have a single receiver VIP211k and want to switch between either roof-mounted dish or Tailgater when the roof view is blocked. I don't want to have to switch cables to receiver each time - is there an appropriate AB switch that will carry the power and diseqc signals appropriately to each dish? - I know ideally Tailgater should connect directly to Receiver - but PITA to get into the cabinet and change the lines - Also understand limits on length of RG6 to be ~50ft between Receiver and Tailgater.

Thanks

You could try a standard a/b switch. Just not sure it will properly pass 2.2 ghz

Yeah I highly doubt it will.

I use a pair of high bandpass switches for switching between the Trav'ler on the roof and a ground tripod.
