I know very little about the quality of the MFJ switches. However, there
are a number of companies which produce excellent quality switches which
send the unused sections to ground.
If you can locate some of the old Heath antenna switches...You'll have a
switch which sends unused antennas to ground, has a ground position and has
very little attenuation VHF or higher frequencies.
Good luck in your search.
