I've used the AD switches with a pair of duoband VHF/UHF radios for a 
number of years with no problems. I've never tried is on HF but I think 
the isolation is good enough to prevent damage.  Just remember there are 
no interlocks to prevent transmitting on the wrong radio into either a 
short or open.
