Off topic. Sorry. What are the functional disadvantages that make it apparently undesirable to build an antenna switch that is a crossover 2 radios x 2 antennas? What if you only used one path at a time but could switch them easily? Crosstalk? Is it so strong as to damage the other radio? Is it not possible to achieve acceptable compatibility with 2 radios and 2 antennas? Or to swap amplifiers between two radios and two antennas by placing one on the input and another on the output of the amplifiers? Or to swap in the better antenna for a short contact that you just can't seem to make on the current one?
I don't relish placing a switch on each antenna and another switch on every radio in order to connect anything to anything. How do you do it? It would take 4 1x2 switches on the input of the amplifiers and 4 more on the output to do what could be done with 2 switches of 2x2.
