Antenna Switches - What's In Your Radio Shack ?http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortw.../message/14553
.
I have used the Two and Four Position Alpha Delta Antenna
Switches for years and they have been trouble free.http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/switch/2415.html
.
I also like the Alpha Delta's because all the connections
are on one side (back) and you do not have to deal with
the Coax Cable running out the front and routing it around.
.
As a Shortwave Radio Listener (SWL) I have my Antenna Switches
right on the Deck Top next to the Radios and Easy-to-Reach.

I use the built-in switch on the R-5000. Two is plenty.- Hide quoted text -

Roadie - That requires you to have 1 Antenna using
Coax Cable and 1 Antenna using Ladder-Line ~ RHFhttp://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/commrxvr/r5000io.jpg

- Please reread your question.
- You asked what switches are in your shack.
- The R-5000 has a built-in antenna switch.
- What could be clearer.

Roadie,

Yes any Receiver with a 'built-in' Antenna Switch
can make things simpler and clean-up the Deck Top.
- - - You will have a "Nice Looking" Radio Shack.
.
But 'cleaner' is not necessarily a better Radio Shack that
is Set-Up for both "Safe" Operations and Non-Use Periods.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortw.../message/14607
.
Using an External Antenna Switch using a Short 3-5 Foot
of Coax Cable "Jumper" between the Switch and the
Receiver; allows for easier Removal of the Coax "Jumper"
from the Switch when you Disconnect the Coax : When
the Receiver is Not-in-Use -or- If the Antenna Switch has
a "Common" Not-Connect {Shorted} Postion like the
Alpha Delta Antenna Switches do :
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/switch/2415.html
Then It can Save the Time connecting and un-connecting
the Coax each time the Receiver is Used and Not-in-Use.
Plus the Alpha Delta Antenna Switches have a built-in
'surge protector' using a D-4 Arc-Plug Cartridge {GDT}.
