Topband: Receive antenna switching - Thanks!

[R. David Eagle]

Thanks to all of you who responded to my posts.  I deffinitely have more ideas now and it seems I need to make a decision now...hi hi.  The majority rules in favor of the simple remote switches made by ameritron and LDG....while others make use of their cable tv AB switches to switch their arrays.  I will have to admit, that Victor (K1LT) wins the award for most creative design for receive array switching.  Hats off to you!  That is a great idea! 

 I just wish someone made something similar in a cheaper kit fashion.  This is one thing that has really surprised over the years is why no one has come out (commercially) with a decent switching design (>4 ports) that utilizes the coax for long runs rather having to drop a control line to the switch.  Maybe there is one out there that I haven't seen yet...????  BUT for many of us that have switching arrays on 160/80 we are forced to make the long runs due to the size of the antennas and the seperation space from the TX antennas.  

Thanks again to all ...
