The Rat Pack I measured had -51.7 dB crosstalk on 14 MHz,
and -45.3dB on 30 MHz.

I don't understand why anyone would worry about that.
Not only is that clearly NOT how he intended to use the
switch, the path loss between antennas and other things
external to the switch would be an even bigger problem.
Typical receivers will easily handle 30dBm without ill
effect when you are not duplexing on the same band.
