I have two HF radios and 4 different HF antennas. I would like to use each rig on any antenna, while obviously locking out that antenna for the other rig. The commercial products 6-Pack, 8-Pack, etc

Barry, Two DPDT relays for each antenna - one for each rig. Activating a relay by Rig A with one set of contacts disables the other rig from being able to activate the same relay for the same antenna

Hi Barry, If you only need one transmitter at a time, and if the switch will be in the shack, you could use the MFJ 1700C: http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?productid=MFJ-1700C 73 -- Larry --

--Original Message-- I wouldn't trust lockouts in the relay drive logic (e.g. what happens if a relay sticks).. What's your port to port isolation requirement? one way to do it is to use a single pol

http://home.comcast.net/~kk1l/kk1l_2x6switch/TwoRadioSwitchDocumentation.pdf Take a look at this solution. Less expensive and provides the lockout from the control unit. Sent from my iPhone _________

I wrote an article for NCJ on just such a project. Mine was a 6x2 with lockout logic to prevent connecting both radios to the same antenna, and it also has an LED display that indicates antennas in u

I built a box with 2 SPST relays per antenna and switched them with SPDT center off switches, one per antenna. That way each antenna can only be switched to 1 rig at a time (unless a relay sticks) ho

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 sel

I'm not so wild about that design. If a relay fails closed/stuck, you can short one radio to the other by closing another relay, and there's no failsafe mechanism to provide feedback to the controlle

Barry, I had a similar challenge except that it was 4 x N, where N could be four or more. It was also complicated by the fact that sometimes I want to use two radios with two ports each (PRO3 and PRO
