I have a N8XJK boost regulator which has RF switching like your
booster. I use a UHF "T" connector -- 2 female and 1 male. I
connect the male plug directly to the booster and then use coax
jumpers to connect the radio and the antenna. That way the stub
is so short that it doesn't have a noticeable effect on the
antenna match.

I plan to go on vacation in about a week and bought a MFJ-4416B
battery booster to use with my KX3 and KPA100 in my camper. I
see a SO239 jack on the booster that needs some RF to turn the
unit on during transmit and off during receive. I tried letting
it run during receive but it makes a low level nasty
interference on 20 CW. Does anyone have experience feeding RF
to that jack? I feel it would be undesirable to have a branch
off my feed line that would act as a tuned stub. I feel the RF
switching would be desirable but need to know the best way to
do it.
