[GreenKeys] 60 Mil Patching

[Anthony Watson]

Hey thanks Tom!  I did build a good patch panel into my black box “thing” .  It’s got inputs on the side and breaks out to everything I need even with switches to take things out of circuit if I want to.  

I was under the misunderstanding that a navy patch panel might have an internal power supply or signal relay/regeneration that would solve a signal voltage problem I have.  

What I need is something to take an anemic loop signal and feed my patch panel it’s spinach.
