That switch is rated at greater than 60 dB of isolation up to 30 MHz. With 100 watts output, that would mean that no more than -10 dBm would reach the input of the "off" rig. While that is enough power to cause nonlinearities on a received signal, it is well below the level at which any front-end damage would occur (I suspect that the T-R switch of the radios offer similar isolation). I have used the similar MFJ-1702C switch with a K2 and TS-570D with no problems.
