Hello Rolf and everybody,
I am using a transfer switch to change mode J to B for my SDR and FT817 here at station.
The model I use is ARD62024M01 but some other can be used. They can be sold for less than $10. You will need a 24V DC source for switching for the 24 model. 12 V model may be harder to found.

In the shack I am finally starting to use my Funcube Dongle Pro Plus with SDR-Console 3 and really am liking the combo, especially for the linear birds.
The one downside is having to manually unscrew coax connectors to swap the antennas from receiver to transmitter and vice versa when going from V/U to U/V and U/V to V/U.
I don't want to use multiple antenna switches because if I or a guest op doesn't set them properly I could blow the front end of the receiver.
Does anyone have an idiot-proof solution for throwing one switch and having the two antennas swapped between rcvr and xmtr?
Tnx es 73 Rolf NR0T EN34it _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
