Real Coax switches have a "shorting" on the unused connector. Many, "DOW KEY" included leave an
open circuit to unused connectors, they "shield" the strip that connects from input to the used
connector, but a 2kw amp can give your receiver a work out.

I have 2 DOW KYA nad one B&W for receivers and DAIWA for transmitters and linear.
