Hi Barry

I just built some antenna switches to switch antennas between radios.  I 
have one 2-position switch for each antenna.  Each switch goes to a 7 
position switch at each radio.  That way I can select whichever antenna I 
want to go to either radio.  No danger of transmitting into front end of a 
radio that way.   73
