Topband: RX/TX Antenna switching

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Hello Cristi

I don´t know if your radio have RX input. Anyway if you use KD9SV DXPedition
II http://www.radio-ware.com/products/svdxii.htm this is not a problem, you
can use it and connect up to 4 RX antennas.

Asunto: Topband: RX/TX Antenna switching

Hello,

I'm interested to hear from you all, what do you use to switch RX/TX
antennas on 160m band.
I'm currently use an INV-L as TX(RX) antenna and a K9AY for RX. 

In this moment I use a high power coaxial manual switch getting through
INV-L or K9AY but this is very time consuming, especially in the contest.
I'm thinking of RX/TX switch choosing on RX between K9AY and INV-L and on
TX, only INV-L, no metter what is used on RX side. I've tried with a high
power coaxial relay but it doesn't work due to faster relays on PA. seems to
me that a sequencer should be used.

Look for any practical ideas.

By the way, CQ160mCW contest was a success here with more than 600 QSOs in
the log and several DX (also VE/K) stations.
