If you see one for sale consider it a source of parts. I'd never consider running a kilowatt through this switch.
The design is dreadful, and in its original configuration probably only worth the price in parts.
The switch isn't really an RF type switch. The wiring links between the UHF connectors and the switch was just regular stranded wire. These connections are also unreasonably long.
I figured I could make this switch at least usable on my wide band Discone antenna, that won't be used for transmitting. I stripped out the original wiring, and replaced it with pieces of coax which are JUST long enough to reach their destinations. This approaches a better design, without addressing the glaring issue of the switch itself.
The result looks much more reasonable, but without any analysis I can't prove that I've made any real improvements to the device.
