[TowerTalk] HP8761A

[John Kemker]

Looking through my junk box, I found an HP8761A SPDT RF Switch with N 
Female connectors on all three ports.

Has anybody used one of these for antenna switching on a common 
feedline?  I'm not planning on putting anything over 100W through it.  I 
figure, if I buy an amp, I should also plan on buying a heavy-duty 
Tohtsu for switching duties.  Meanwhile, if I can use this switch, I can 
save at least one run of hardline or direct-bury coax and the associated 
costs, as I already have a spare pair of wires that will be running out 
to the tower in the rotator cable.  I can energize that pair, either one 
polarity or the other, when I need to switch antennas.
