Jeff, We have many customers using the DELTA switches with multiple
radios to one antenna. However, be sure to follow these guidelines:
1. Be sure the switch case is grounded to your station ground.
2. The unused radio must be switched to "off".
3. If running full legal limit of 1500 watts, the VSWR at the antenna
FEED POINT should be 2:1 or less to prevent the SWR voltage from false
triggering the gas tube ARC-PLUG protection cartridge.
4. The DELTA switches (DELTA-2B or DELTA-4B) have a co-channel
isolation of greater than 60 dB through 10 meters with SO-239
connectors or thru 1.2 GHz with N type connectors.
5. The switch design uses constant impedance micro-strip thru line
construction, at 50 ohms, so it is good not to run too much power at
too high an SWR to prevent internal "flash over" across the
components. Actually, this is good advice with ANY coax switch.
Hopes these comments answer your questions, Jeff.
