This is an approach I have been looking at doing as well.   I was
wondering if any of you who are doing this have noticed a lack of
isolation between ports on these relays.  I have several and only 2 of
which seem to have more than90dB of isolation at 144Mhz.  The lower
isolkation units have the problem that strong signals on one of the
other bands appear as weak signals on the selected band.  Rather
annoying at times.
