if there is old hackware in it...probably as there is a setting for SW21
if you are using the factory software...no...there is no setting for that..just Diseqc & 22k

thanks bro im not sure about the software ,i never got involved in that stuff . i bought it at yardsale or moving sale. the coax cable doesnt work only the 3 patch cables .god only knows i would like to use the diseq switch .i only paid $20.00 for it i guess it why i got it so cheap.
go into "dish setup" and it would say
22khz
diseqc
might have something about a SW21 after that....mine doesn't (factory)
if it has old hackware in it, no biggie. You can reflash it back to factory specs

its a Dish proprietary switch that they used back in the day. They're still used sparingly.
It doesnt work like a Diseqc and it doesnt work like a 22k so that's why the receiver has to have that option in it for "SW21"
My CS5000 wont work with one because it doesnt have that in the menus

I think he meant that he only paid $20 for his receiver, not the switch.$20.00
I just put two SW21 switches out into the trash a few weeks ago.
I thought I had some notes or links on it, but cannot find 'em.
If I recall, they respond to pulsing the power (someone will correct me if I'm wrong).
With only two inputs, and sketchy support, I never considered using them for FTA.
I did have some many years ago on my Dish Network system.
There was also an SW21X, which was a minor variation and could be cascaded with a standard SW21.
I've seen some members comment that they're robust and positive switching.
However, I wouldn't personally consider 'em proper candidates for a new design.
If your receiver has support for 'em, you have one, and just insist on using it, I won't say anything.
Just don't look for 'em in the Switches Simplified FAQ in my lifetime.
