Re: [TenTec] Knife Switches and etc

["Stuart Rohre" <rohre@arlut.utexas.edu>]

For the 100 watt ham station, the project knife switches from Home Depot are 
perfectly adequate.

In fact they are probably good for a kilowatt if you mount them on 
insulating fiberglass or phenolic board.

After all, you will not be making and breaking contacts with power applied! 
(I hope!)

I have a small double pole double throw knife switch that was my first 
antenna changeover switch with separate transmitter and receiver.  It is 
going on
48 years old without ever arcing over.
