- My advice would be to look at the external antenna plug.

Then stroll down to Radio Shack, and look for switchable dual in - one out Hi
Fi
or VCR / DVD components.
- The staff may try to sell yo a Cell 'Phone or Sat dish;

Aside from that, Some of the gold plated stuff looked interesting..
Alligator clips, Duct tape, shielded wire
all should help

I'm putting together, as a quickie project, an antenna switcher. I
didn't have good results with an old rotary switch I had on hand so
I'd like to make it simple: one switch per antenna, and just have
clicked on the one I want and clicked off the one(s) I don't.

Are there certain types of switches that work well for this app?
Others to shy away from? Since RS is close I'd like to visit the Shack
and be done shopping if I can.

Thanks.

Forget the gold plate stuff, waste of money.

- Looks really cool when you

put on your shades & just stand around . . .

Use what ever you have on hand, it really doesn't matter as long as you're not
worrying about handling power from a transmitter.
