This Switch Is Identical to One I Bought a Few Years Ago - Still Pleased with its Quality

I've owned several coax switches since becoming a radio amateur operator in 1974. I bought my first Daiwa switches several years ago and I have been pleased with their heavy construction and dependable operation. The first Daiwa two position switch is still in service working with a Daiwa four position switch (see attached picture). The four position switch selects the radio (two HF radios, including one with a VHF coax connector, and one VHF mobile) and the two position switch selects the antenna (the outside position is controlled by a five position Ameritron antenna selector and an inside two meter magnet mount antenna. The inside two meter antenna is almost exclusively used as a dummy load in case I inadvertently transmit when the outside HF/VHF antennas are off line. In case of thunder storms, I still physically disconnect the outside coax. I live on the Cumberland Plateau in east central Tennessee, which is characterized by unusually violent thunder storms. I routinely run a 180 watt VHF amplifier and 600 watt HF amplifier, both well within the capabilities of the switches. The second Daiwa two position switch was purchased for another room to switch an indoor multiband antenna with an outside VHF/UHF antenna. It precludes me from having to disconnect the coax when the radio is not in use. Again, I normally disconnect the outside coax at the connector during lightning storms. I have followed this practice for decades and have yet to loose a radio due to a lightning strike.

Ham radio splitter switch

Working great so far for HF ham radio use. I use this to split one feedline for two radios. Be careful if using high power though. Switch is very springy and solid. Have had no issues whatsoever with the switch, and the loss it creates is negligible on HF. Great budget switch, sure there are more expensive switches, but with my 100w rig, it works nicely.

Works Great!

Bought one two years ago to switch my antenna between two tuners. I've put a kilowatt+ through the switch, and it hasn't failed me yet. Just bought another one to switch between my analog and digital radios.

Perfect for ham aerial switching.

Using as a swap between 1.25m & 2m/70cm antennas for a triband. Pics speak for themselves. Actual swr from radio to antenna, not a dummy load.

This thing is built like a tank

This is frequently recommended as the best coax switch by ham radio operators and this is for good reason. This thing is solidly built and works great. I have used it for switching between two radios and it has worked great on HF bands.

What’s not to like about this switch

Quality coupled with rocket shipping made this purchase a win win. The switch is perfect for either one radio and two antennas or vice versa. It’s built to last. If you’re into Han radios or CB’S this is a great addition to your setup.

Well made solid device so far!

So far good solid well made unit that works great. No visible loss of signal in ham antenna and easy to set up. I would recommend it if it last without failure over time switching the knob as designed!

connect and forget

It's an "appliance" switch.... connect the cables and it just works. No problems handling 1400 Watts.

Very good

Good piece of gear at a great price point. I use mine to switch between my hf rig and my VNA. Good isolation. Very well made.

Five Stars

Heavy duty construction and convenient mounting tabs. This little switch is impressive.
