I put up a vertical yesterday to begin playing with diversity mode. When I installed the sub receiver I opted to connect the Aux RF BNC connector. Now I am not sure I made the right decision for me as I want to be able to easily switch transmit and receive antennas. Of course then my 20M dipole and my 6 M vertical would be just sitting there unconnected and to switch bands I have to plug new cables in. I have more antennas planned for the future and I may try some kind of low noise receive-only antenna.
In the old days a simple antenna switch would be all I need but now I have multiple simultaneous antennas to switch and I need to make sure I don't transmit out of Antenna 1 into the Aux Rx port ;-) So now I am considering building some kind of well isolated Antenna switch matrix. I am interested in what others are doing. If I use relays, how does one build for good cross-talk isolation between antennas? Maybe all I need is two or three simple antenna switches.
