I received the 22KHz switch in the mail and connected it to the two dishes. It seems that I would get signal off of the small dish when hooked to the "on" side of the switch, but couldn't get it to switch over to the other dish. I connected the bigger dish to the "on" side, then the smaller dish wouldn't show a signal. I must have spent four hours between two evenings and a Saturday going back to the receiver and then out to the dishes.

The problem? No ground...

When I thought it through, I realized that it is an electrical connection, and without a ground, I would be trudging through snow and the switch still wouldn't work. Since I have the dishes grounded, it was a simple connection before the 22KHz was switching back and forth like it was intended.

Thanks to all of you for your help in this matter.
