Here's a simple question. I want to connect my transceiver to several
antennas using 450 ohm ladder line and a balanced tuner. I found a
couple of small double pole double throw knife switches for the ladder
line. There are only two ways to hook these up. I can hook the tuner
output to the center with the ground on the bottom and the antenna on
the top connectors. This will allow me to connect the transceiver to
the antenna or to ground. The second way is to connect the
transceiver to the top contacts, the antenna to the center, and ground
to the bottom contacts. This will let me connect the antenna to the
radio or to ground. Is it better to ground the radio and let the
antenna float? Or to ground the antenna and let the radio float?
Of course if I leave the switch handle sticking straight up nothing is
connected to anything.
I am inclined to think grounding the antenna is better but I have been
wrong before.
