The MFJ safety switch 1703 crosses the lines from two radios to two output lines. You can connect a dummy load to one antenna port so there is always either the antenna or the dummy load connected to either radio. 73! de Werner OE9FWV -- " "-- Marcel Marceau Email powered by Pegasus Mail free at <http://www.pmail.com> Homepage: <http://www.qsl.net/oe9fwv/> Fone +43 5522 75013 Fax +43 820 555 85 2621 Mobile +43 664 6340014 Elecraft K2 #5203 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
