Last swap I picked up a 12 position heavy duty ceramic rotary switch.  I had
a handful of SO-239 panel mounts.  Rummaging in the junque box I found a
heavy duty IMAC RS232 switch box.     I made sure the switch was mounted
close to the connectors and used mini-RG8 coax center conductor to do the
wiring.

It seems to work as well as any of the commercial boxes.  I probably
wouldn't go much more than 300 watts or so, but the SWR looks good and there
doesn't seem to be much in the way of loss  that I could measure up to 30
MHz .
