Antenna switch

[ShadowDelaware]

Is there a safe antenna switch to use as a radio selector switch for 1kw to 1500w.?

I use an HP 8761A switch. It is mounted to the wall behind my desk and I use a toggle to operate it that's attached to the side of my rig. Supposed to be good to 5Kw. I only run 150 watts so I should be OK.........

Alpha Delta makes a great switch 2 or 4 antennas or radios however you want to run it. It should handle that easily. They are also easy to mount if you want and can be grounded as well.

It all come down to how much isolation there is in the switch between the two or more positions. The Alpha Delta switches are rated quite well for this. I use a 4 position Alpha Delta to switch between different HF rigs. I do not ever have more than one rig on at any time however.

I use a big MFJ switch for radios and antennas. Not cheap, but fit my needs perfectly. Rated at 1500w.

A switch is the final part of my setup, and I have been very leary because I am afraid I will blow out the back end of the other attached radios. I have looked at the MFJ switches. And i've also looked at the alpha delta switches....it is such a pain to move everything to unhook and hook up coax.

I use the Alpha Delta switch for switching between radios......
I use the very heavy duty MFJ-2704, Gold Plated contact switches for switching between amplifiers.......
In my experience, I have found the MFJ-2703 and 2704 switches better for the high power switching........
