Gary:

 

Do you remember the issue with the SA-2060 or SA-2060A tuners regarding the
antenna switching?  If my memory is correct there was a lot of discussion on
the antenna switching on these tuners several years ago on the reflectors.
I do not remember the specifics but do remember things can be very
problematic if jumpers are not connected properly and switches in the wrong
position?  Do you recall the issue?  I think Heath may have corrected the
problem with the "A" version and clarified the manual on the plain 2060?

 

I may be wrong on this but I think it had something to do with the "by-pass"
position of the antenna switch.  This is normally hooked up to a dummy load
but something in the switching also leaves the transmitter hooked to the
antennas as well?  Wish I could remember.

 

Ron
