Daiwa CS-201A 2 Position Coax Switch

My first antenna switch was cheaper, and it made a mess of the SWR. This does not. Works great. I actually use it to switch between receivers rather than antennas. In that application, it also works great. I do a lot of testing to compare receivers, and thus being able to switch back and forth is a great help.

It’s sturdy and hasn’t appeared to introduce any noise or loss to speak of in my 2m packet operations or 2m/440 voice operations. I would buy this again.

You can buy a cheap coax switch, or you can buy one thatll minimize losses. How much have you invested in your actual antennas? This isnt the place to cheap out, IMO. Im using this to switch between my UHF/VHF omni, and my VHF beam. It works beautifully, and its built like a tank. Very high quality.

So far both have not failed and work as intended

As good as yesteryears product . two radios to one antenna is great . Two antennas to big power ... look elsewhere .

it is small an easy to install. use it for 2m/220/70cm antennas

Working great so far for HF ham radio use. I use this to split one feedline for two radios. Be careful if using high power though. Switch is very springy and solid. Have had no issues whatsoever with the switch, and the loss it creates is negligible on HF. Great budget switch, sure there are more expensive switches, but with my 100w rig, it works nicely.

I am a ham radio operator and have a long wire antenna in my back yard. It works great with my ham radio. I bought this to switch the antenna to my very old Heathkit Most Accurate Clock. The clock no longer resets to the correct time with just a little antenna, it needed a stronger signal. At first I would swap the PL259 antenna connectors manually. During the day the big antenna went to the ham radio, overnight I put the big antenna to the clock. I got tired of moving the connectors. So I use this switch, one click - antenna moved. . NOTE: if doing this with a transmitter such as my ham radio, BE SURE to have the antenna switched to the radio, I do this prior to even powering up my ham radio. . The switch has been in use for several weeks and the click to switch feels positive and has never failed. Its a quality device from a brand that I have used for decades without ever getting a dud.

used to protect my HF station, we have lots of thunder storms here. I use the switch to isolate my radio from the antenna, I have the switch well grounded

This thing is WAY more heavy duty than I need, but it does the job perfectly. I basically just use it to turn off our ISP signal to our modem to control screen time in our household. Took a couple of adaptors for coaxial cable, but after that, I was off to the races. Drives the kids NUTS. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
