[NCC] coaxial switches

[Jon Kovacs]

Guys....

thank you all so much for your input....I now have more ideas than I
planned....no big secret here, I just have my Yaesu FT 1000MP and Yaesu FT
950.... It may be just me, however
the 1000MP hears better on cw and the 950 with its filters seems to hear
better on ssb.... Changing the coax around all time gets to be a pain.
I  just have coax coming out of each radio into a Alpha Delta 2 position
switch, then the single coax out of the Alpha Delta goes to the
amp.....However I am not totally comfortable with the Alpha Delta switch,
so I keep unused rig off and unplugged from the coax...

Thanks again, appreciate your ideas...
