Some idea about a good/reliable Manual Ant Switch up to 4 antennas ?
I used to use manual switches, and had/used several different types. All
worked pretty well and most were very good electrically. The Alpha-Delta
4x1 is probably what you want. I have several that I still use for
temporary setups like CQP and FD.
At one point I had about six mechanical switches inline, all accessible
from my operating position, and all the coax going to the switches
really clogged things up. About three years ago, I replaced all of them
with relay switches that are controlled by small rotary switches and
toggle switches mounted in mini-boxes and screwed down to a shelf above
the operating position. All the coax is out of the way, on the floor
under the shelf that is under the rigs, and that that holds power amps.
I still have two Alpha-Delta switches in line -- one switches antennas
that I added after designing the basic switching, and another switches
the antennas for one of my K3s to a KX3.
