Nice construction. Good part for the money.
Works fine. I did not measure to see if it added loss because it is better than wearing out the fitting on the radio changing antennas 5 times a night or day. I am making Baluns and wire antennas frequently. I have a long run to my patio and three other runs as well. I keep 20m in antenna1 port and the switch on the 2nd antenna port. The switch has a 40m dipole, the outside run, and a 94'/44' OCF with a 4:1 and a 1:1 choke. That long wire tunes 80,30,10. The switch caused no audible loss in my reception.

Terrible product, bleed over from the antenna choices to the other outputs!
I have been through 3 of these from Amazon. Each one is bad. There is bleed over from ANT 1 to ANT 2 and visa versa. This was causing terrible SWR's and finally tracked down the culprit! It is these switches! Garbage!

First of all, it’s important to note that I am using this antenna switch for shortwave listening, not for transmitting. Furthermore, I’m not using this switch for its intended purpose as an antenna switch, but as a switch between three shortwave radios and one antenna. I’m basically using it in reverse, a common thing experienced shortwave hobbyists do to enhance performance. I am using this switch with 100 foot longwire antenna that’s feeding three shortwave radios/SDRs. The switch allows me to use my single longwire antenna on any one of my three main radios without having to disconnect and reconnect the coaxial cable when I want to check out the reception on any individual radio. The switch has been working flawlessly for the past 6 months without any issues. The switch itself is very durable and has the feeling of real quality when turning the selector. Positions are clearly marked and the connections are of top quality. I’m also making use of self-adhesive Velcro strips I purchased on Amazon to attach the switch to my desk. I can highly recommend this antenna switch for shortwave listeners looking for a workable solution to share a single antenna between different radios.
