Power Switch Radio Mount (PSRM) 
For redundancy purposes, the PSRM  allows two Horizon units to be mounted to a single antenna. Both 
units must be oriented for the same polarity and only one unit can transmit/receive at any one time. The  
PSRM looks similar to the DPRM shown in  Figure  3-3, but has internal components that only allow one 
unit to transmit/receive at a time.  
Note  that redundant systems do not have to use the  PSRM. Each may be separately mounted to their 
own antennas if desired. See Section  11.13 for more details. 
The benefits of the  PS RM are that only one antenna is required, reducing tower real estate requirements, 
reducing weight and minimizing wind loading.   
Disadvantages include a 4 dB loss in signal when operating on the primary systems at each end of the 
link and an 8.5 dB loss in signal when a secondary radio is activated (one end running on Primary and 
other end operating on secondary).
