WiMo Remote Polarization Switches are 4-way mast-mount relays used to change the polarization plane on a WiMo X-Quad or other cross-polarized Yagi. Selectable polarization planes are horizontal, vertical, right-hand circular and left-hand circular. For each band, 2 meters and 70 cm, there are two WiMo Remote Polarization Switches models available, differing by the maximum output power. These remote control polarization switches may be used for WiMo X-Quad Antennas as well as for any third-party cross-polarized Yagi antennas.

WiMo Remote Polarization Switches are mast-mountable weather-proof relay boxes equipped with Type-N connectors. Two inputs are for the antenna and one coax output goes to the transceiver. Remote operations require an additional 4-conductor DC control cable, sold separately. Switches are supplied with a mast clamp and the required 4-pin plug for the control cable. The switchbox that would be located at the station is not included. The user may use a simple chassis box or panel and a 4-position rotary switch, or automation control, with an external 12 VDC power supply to switch the relays, which draw 100 mA max. A diagram appears in the instructions (see Documentation).

WiMo Remote Polarization Switches were developed in the RF lab of SSB-Electronics and are available only as a WiMo product, exclusively through DX Engineering in North America.
