Review on πŸ“» TW-103 3 Position Coaxial Switch for 144/440MHz HAM CB or HF/VHF/UHF Radio, UHF Female Connector (SO-239), Enhanced with Golden Plating by Marco Roberson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

At first I was pleasantly surprised.

At first I was surprised by the seemingly higher quality of this switch compared to lesser known brands like this. The switching mechanism looks quite nice. However, mounting in positions 1 and 3 does not provide a secure connection when the handle "snaps". Then you have to move the handle until you hear the signal from the radio speaker. Position 2 works perfectly every time. watch the video I will apply contact lube to the contacts to see if that helps (because I'm tired of returning things) and if not I'll send it back for a refund or replacement. When I think about it, I just give that back. UPDATE: Come to think of it, I've put Deoxit on contact lenses and it's working great now. I will keep it at this moment.
