Been using one for about 3 years now, mounted at "eye level" on my tower, to
switch between a tribander and a 75m dipole on the tower, and a
ground-mounted vertical nearby. It has worked perfectly up to my power
limit, which is about 1300 watts. Never have checked the loss through it. I
especially liked not having to run an extra control line to the relay box.
I'm putting up a C-3XL(D) soon, and will use another one for bandswitching
that antenna, but it will be mounted at the top of the tower.
73, Jerry W5KP
