Yikes! And also very wrong. I moved the decimal point! Make that -0.16
dB and -0.35 dB. Sorry about that.
That makes a whole lot more sense. 1.6 dB (~20%) loss on 160m would be
enormous <grin>

Strange. I've got loads of them in many places in my station antenna
switching and have never had a problem. Since I recently acquired a
new NanoVNA-F and have three spare Top Ten A/B selectors, I decided
to measure them all. I won't quote all the measurement results, but
I will summarize.
1. Over the range of 1.5 MHz to 54 MHz, the insertion loss of a
selected port went from about -1.6 dB worst case at 1.5 MHz to about
-0.35 dB worst case at 54 MHz. The insertion loss curve (S21) was
monotonic over the range.
It's interesting that the loss goes *down* as the frequency goes up.
