Consider the Workman model CX-3 as an example of an antenna selector switch which is barely suitable for its intended purpose.  With a poor HF isolation of 42dB and completely lacking a center conductor ground at the unused connectors it isn't even an ideal antenna switch.  If you planned to use it to connect multiple transceivers to a single antenna you risk damaging those transceivers because power from the selected transceiver is going to bleed into the unused transceivers.  This would not be a problem at QRP power levels, however, at 100 watts it would be a bad idea.  Although immediate damage may not necessarily occur, over time it would inevitably lead to failure of your radios.Consider the Workman model CX-3 as an example of an antenna selector switch which is barely suitable for its intended purpose.  With a poor HF isolation of 42dB and completely lacking a center conductor ground at the unused connectors it isn't even an ideal antenna switch.  If you planned to use it to connect multiple transceivers to a single antenna you risk damaging those transceivers because power from the selected transceiver is going to bleed into the unused transceivers.  This would not be a problem at QRP power levels, however, at 100 watts it would be a bad idea.  Although immediate damage may not necessarily occur, over time it would inevitably lead to failure of your radios.
