[LCC] Receive antenna switching - Rhyme and reason...

[Scott Dickson, W5WZ]

Hi guys!  

 

It is time for me to add receive-only antenna switching to my thought
process as I continue planning and building.  A few questions in my mind:

 

1.	Is it necessary to ground the receive-only antenna (or receive-only
antenna port on the XCVR) during same band transmit on any rig in the shack?
I've heard that some rigs only mute the receive-only antenna port, while the
RF still hits the front end of the receiver.  What method are you using?
2.	What method/device(s) are you using to switch between multiple
receive antenna, shared between 2 transceivers?
3.	Are any of the RF switching devices automated, i.e. using a band
decoder to drive switching?

 

 

I'm still working diligently on the station here at W5WZ.  If you are
interested in the progress, please visit my journal page:
