Daiwa CS-201A 2 Position Coax Switch

I am happy with this antenna switch but the one thing I wish I could do better is when the switch is in the center (off)position there should be more of a detent. I find when the switch is in the center position it is very easy to go to antenna 1 or 2 with a slight bump of the knob. Not a big deal but I guess Im used to my trusty Alpha Delta switch style. A very good switch for the price none the less. Four stars for this slight oversight.

I have one of these I bought maybe 25 years ago that has held up well. Other than the shade of blue paint on this new one they are identical. Nice to see that it wasnt broke and they didnt fix it over the years.

Good SHORTING coax switch. Contrary to some reviews here, the version of the switch I received does indeed short the center conductor of the non-selected connector (port) to the switch case, and hence to the coax shields of connected cables, and to ground if the coax switch case is grounded, as it should be in many installations.. Tech data on any of the major ham radio equipment supplier Web sites will confirm this. In many cases, this shorting is good, but may not be appropriate if this switch is used to connect one of two transmitters to an amplifier, antenna tuner, or antenna - keying a transceiver transmitter into a short circuit will be hard on your transmitter final amplifier - unless you like the hassle and cost of replacing final amp transistors :)

This thing feels like it should last a long time, very solid. Other than that, it switches, so it works.

Works well, good value

Side of the metal wall of antenna input connector was bended and damaged . I dont know if it were due to manufaturing or damaged during the transpotation.

This is an excellent switch. I have three of them now with no problems

it works
