Not quite what you are looking for, but I implemented a pair of thunderbolts with no common parts (dual antennas power etc) into a simple RF switch. The production manager flipped the switch on Mondays, and if either system wasn't working I had a third system in a box ready to replace. So for any failure of the two live systems, all he had to do was flip the switch and call me.

Hello, Looking for recommendation for a ‘failover’ or ‘redundant’ switch for 10 MHz distribution. Not really sure of the correct term. Something that sensed RF on primary 10 MHz, and then switched to secondary on fail of primary. A brief search showed several very nice $$$ items, suitable for commercial applications, but I wonder if there are some “last year’s” (but not last century) versions that would work for a home lab. Context: I have a GPSDO and a Rb source of 10 MHz. The power supply on the GPSDO failed (worked enough to light up the GPSDO, but not enough to lock). I have a new power supply on order, but would be nice to have “insurance”. Thanks in advance for the group bandwidth.
