I have a MissleWorks TRS/GPS trackeing system and I just purchased the featherweight switch and the instructions on the website are for a straight forward altimeter hookup, but my Missleworks has a terminal block for +-Batt and another +- space for a switch. Im confused on how to wire up this Featherweight magnetic switch to my MisslelWorks TRS/GPS. Help??
 
You just need to wire the Fetherweight magnetic switch to the battery input of the Missileworks device. Then add a jumper to the switch inputs so that circuit is always on.
My jumper is the orange wire of the RRC3 in this pic, the red and black go to a switch inline with my battery:

Thanks for the pic but Im still lost. The odd number of connections on the switch got me baffled. In, out, and ground?? Im assuming that the in and out channels are both positive?
