Bill, I have used the DPDT knife switch successfully in the past. What I did was have the antenna come to the center or throw of the switch. One position went to my Matchbox and the other side went to ground. I have found that fully grounded antennas are less susceptible to lightning strikes than ones left floating. 73 de K8 Joe "Palooka" & Beverly -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/FAQ/topband Submissions: topband@contesting.com Administrative requests: topband-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-topband@contesting.com  |
