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.
