- Pete, I have had very good luck switching between radios with rotary switches on 160. Switching between different RX antennas to a single radio can be a problem due to lack of isolation. I see somewh

- Pete, If you are using each antenna on one radio at a time, then you are correct. Special attention would be needed for... 1. Sharing the same antenna on two or more radios for diversity reception,

- Pete, Another solution: I use a multi-port amplifier that W8ZR sold a few years ago in partial kit form. This box takes one antenna in and has a preamp that can be switched in and out. Another built
