The antenna switch on mine leaks quite a bit.  It is not good enough to
be of any real value in a "serious" station.  I have had to resort 
(return) to an external switch, especially between the TX antennas on
ports 1 and 2 and the Rx antenna position.  My modest Tx antenna on 160
often puts enough noise into the RX position that I have to switch the
TX antenna away to quiet the system.

The isolation on mine is about 35-40 db.  Not enough.
