VHF / cable switch location

[smokerider]

Hi, I can't for the life of me, locate this switch on my '04 38 open? Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks and regards dave

In my 2003 Open 35 it is below the AC panel in the compartment on the right side wall.
Hope this helps.

Vhf antenna cables are usually not very long. Therefore I would trace back down the antenna cable from where it comes into the helm area and look for a white 1/4" diameter cable with a PL259 connector on it. It will probably go into a small box with two other PL259 connectors and red and black 12 volt supply leads. The other two white cables will go to your radios. This would be for an automatic switch, not a manual one. A manual switch would not have 12 volts connected to it and would be in a location where you could see it and operate it. Good luck. Capt.

The switch was located, on my 38 Open, in the storage bin area at the top right of the closet; open the stateroom closet door, on the top right is a small storage area; my switch was located in that storage area.

My switch on the 40 express is located in side behind the a/c d/c master panel . Open up the panel and look back there . Just a long shot . Good Luck .
