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}. . . i b switched - iane ~ RHF Shortwave Listener (SWL) Antennas Group = http://tinyurl.com/ogvcf . . .. . |

I was thinking about doing it today, but I had a lot of stuff to take care of yesterday and my back she no feel too good. Perhaps tomorrow. One thing I forgot to add was that my neighbour was up on a job in Rockford, MI doing some heating and cooling work and he spied a nice aluminium flagpole that was being thrown away due to some storm damage at the base of it. We cut off the bad part, (about 1 foot) and it's still 22' long. Now if I sink it 2-3' into the ground in a suitable piece of pipe I'll have a nice free-standing center support for the Eavesdropper. More projects is just what I need! dxAce Michigan USA |
