Yeah! I have a Daiwa CS401 that I wanted to use to switch an antenna
between to K3s. The isolation is so poor that 95 watts from one radio
activates the high RF receive level on the other. Substituting a DELTA-4
solved the problem.

Here comes the flames: I use slip on adapters on my PL259s that
connect my rigs/tuners/etc. to the outside world on my bulkhead. I
have been using this method for over 30 years and NEVER had a
connector associated failure. It allows for quick connect/disconnect
when shutting down for thunderstorm related issues. I use RG8X for all
indoor coax duties and run the KPA500 - so no power levels requiring
heavier cable. I do snug PL259s on equipment slightly with pliers.
Fact is, the only coax failure I have had of recent note, was the poor
quality patch cable between the P3 and K3. It was long ago replaced
with a Mil Spec cable from my junk box.
I do use a number of Daiwa 2-position coax switches for various
purposes. Any comments on coax switches?
