Not very good. Now the price has gone up.

Switch has failed in less than 2 months. I was told I could return for a restocking fee of 13.75. Fix broken switch? Be careful and don't waste your money on this.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

Not the best quality but it works.

When I added a coaxial cable, it broke the wire and had to be soldered. After the repair it works perfectly. I would pay extra for a better quality plug if I had to buy another one.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Functionality

Poor quality on CB and talkback radios

There is a small plastic tab attached to the selector knob. This knob allows the switch to select one of three positions. Broke after about 4 months of use. The switch no longer changes its position. VERY BAD QUALITY. DO NOT BUY.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Great build quality

I'm very happy with this selector. I ran many tests looking for bad connections, leaks and continuity. It worked much better than the other one I bought used and had all the issues. So I replaced it with this one and my signal quality improved a lot and the noise level was lower.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Minor problems

More expensive but worth it.

I replaced another 3-way antenna switch (shown in the photo) that literally fell apart. Another problem is that the old switch increased the SWR by about 30%. The new switch lowered the SWR on both antennas. to less than 1.3. Nice. The action is smooth, with noticeable indentation at every setting. The construction is much heavier and feels more professional. Since the performance of my setup depends heavily on this switch, I don't know why I skimped on this component.

Pros
  • complete set
Cons
  • empty
