Hi Rick,

In many (perhaps most) applications it is desirable to have the non 
selected coax switch positions grounded. There are also some 
applications in which you do not want the non selected positions 
grounded. I do not think that a switch which does not ground the non 
selected positions is necessarily junk and unfit to be sold or given 
away. Of course there may be other qualities ( or lack of same ) that 
make thoses switches junk.
