Topband: RX and TX remote direction switch

[Lee STRAHAN]

  I used to use rotary switches also but once I developed the coax switches for Hi-Z that have 80 dB of cross port isolation. I would never go back to using a switch or single relay with a typical cross channel isolation from their on/off ratio being only 40 dB or so. This is especially important when you are using receiving antennas with very high RDF and front to side/back ratio.

I used to have 6  Beverages at 60 degree Azimuth intervals.
I originally used a rotary switch, then I went to a system like VE6WZ.  Once I used it, I would never consider a rotary switch.
