Hello,

I would like to purchase an "inexpensive" simple, coax antenna switch for
occasionally switching two antennas into my scanner.

Freq. range up to about the scanners limit of 1.3 GHz

Receive only.

Looked at the Daiwa, and for the $ seems like the way to go, but I thought
I'd ask here first.
Any opinions on the Daiwa ?

Any others to consider also that aren't too expensive ?

Ace hardware has a coax switching box, I guess for TV's mainly, with
pushbuttons.
Think this would do the job for my scanner stuff, or probably just junk ?
It's really cheap at about $8

Thanks,
Bob


The Daiwa is good and guess what - for what you are doing the $8 will
be suitable also. If you alread have the antennas up and are feeding
with 50 ohm coax that has PL-259 fittings it will be easier to use the
Daiwa as you won't need to get 'F' to 'PL-259' adapters. If you are
just now installing the whole system I'd go with 75 ohm RG-6 quad
shield and 'F' fittings all the way and then use an 'F' to BNC or SMA
whichever your scanner uses.
