Homebrew antenna/coax switch

Post by Bombero »

There have been a few CBRT members interested in homebrewing their own antenna/coax switches.

I found this the other night and thought it may be of some help to you homebrewers.

I think the only thing I'd add to that would be a way to mount that switch box to a wall or where ever.

mine looks similar, i built the box myself, and used a slide switch. Also you can add a connector jack on there for a freq. counter or scope. You can also put a lug on it for a ground wire. Mine has handled over 800 watts easy.
