MFJ-1700B antenna switch question

I got an MFJ-1700B 6x6 antenna switch, but...
it causes my SWRs to skyrocket.
Normally have a 1.2:1 match on my Diamond X50 dual band antenna, when I put the 1700B in line, the SWR reading jumps to 3:1 !
Is this switch just garbage? or is there something I am missing? Anyone using this switch without excessive swr readings?
Trying to run a Yaesu FT 847, Icom 706, HR-2510, Cobra 142, Uniden Grant and the Diamond X50, Imax 2000, 6m and 2m loop antennas, 6m ground plane, with the switch.
