This sounds the same, and I made it to protect the front end of each radio by switching the radio not being tested to my dummy load in case one of the radios should transmit. I intended my switch for receive comparisons. I am surprised the commercial switches can handle a kilowatt and provide

Years ago, I built such a switch to prevent accidents should one radio transmit when comparing two radios. It is basically an a/b switch such that a radio became the active radio by switching the antenna to it, and simultaneously switching the dummy load to the inactive radio. Neither radio is
