On the speaker. I never implemented the speaker into the switch box. I run a separate MS-4 on each radio, so they always have a load. I would suspect if someone got inventive, they could put an 8 ohm load across the unused speaker outputs from the extra pins on switch.

Great idea to use a computer switch box to switch mics between radios!
Wish I had thought of it. I may use it when I rebuild the shack. This
could easly expand to handle switching between mics and other gadgets
like PSK31/SSTV/whatever interfaces, phone patches, processing devices,
etc.
However....
I wouldn't run a speaker feed through it from a radio with a tube audio
output stage. Bad things can happen when a tube audio output runs
unloaded, and if you're like me, sooner or later you'll turn a rig on
with the AF gain turned up and the speaker switched to another rig...
