Antenna Switch Recommendation?

I think a antenna matcher would work better depending on what ham frequencies you going to work. I ran a motorized screwdriver with a antenna matcher and it was good fot 6- 20 meters

 

If you tune the antenna half way between your highest and lowest operating frequency you should have and acceptable match on both bands with one antenna.I tuned my Wilson 1000 for 27.735 Mhz and get it seems to work good on the CB band as well as the 10 meter novice band.If you want to use the switch with 2 antennas I'd suggest you stay away from the CB type switches and go with a switched aimed at the amateur radio community. There is nothing wrong with some of the CB type switches but some are a waste of money.The same applies to some of the amateur radio antenna switches though.I have good luck with antenna switches from Diamond,Daiwa and Alpha Delta.The Diawa CS-201,pictured below usually runs around $30 US.

 

YEP I use them even on 2 meters they work just fine

 

I have no experience with the Worman line.I have heard that the quality CSX-3 can be hit and miss, some work with no problems and others just don't work.If that is what you ordered, go ahead and give it try.If it works for you great, if not it could probably be returned.

Workman CSX-3


I just noticed Workman also import a switch called the CS-210,it appears to be identical to the Diawa CS-201.Chances are they are built by the same company to the same specs for different importers.I found the Workman online for around $16 US.

Specs say it is usefull to 600 MHz.

 

I beleve that I use mine to switch from the stacked squailos to the CAABC23 vertical.

 

For an import radio just use a single broadband antenna, Stryker, Wilson, Monkeymade to name a few will tune up (very low SWR) and operate well. For low band all the antennas are ugly but I know these to work well.
