[Hallicrafters] Coax Switch ?

[Ray V.]

Here's a picture of my primary shack. All rigs are controlled thru a
series of old rotary-type coax switches (properly labeled of course!).

"http://www.geocities.com/ac_cars/W2EC.html"

Any of these rigs can be switched to run the transmitter/tranceiver thru
the SM-220 scope for signal evaluation. Since this is a single operator
station, and I'm not monitoring another rig when transmitting on a
second one, I haven't been concerned with "bleed thru". All the
transmitter outputs go thru two coax switches so there is effectively
double isolation. Works great. I often keep the KWS-1/75A-4 on 75 or 40 
meters and the KWM-2A/30S-1 on another band and with the flip of a coax 
switch can use one or the other quickly.

There are also additional switches at the secondary operating position
for the other rigs.
