Default Coax Switching Boxes (receive only)

Hello,

I would like to purchase an "inexpensive" simple, coax antenna switch for
occasionally switching two antennas into my scanner.

Freq. range up to about the scanners limit of 1.3 GHz

Receive only.

Looked at the Daiwa, and for the $ seems like the way to go, but I thought
I'd ask first.
Any opinions on the Daiwa ?

Any others to consider also that aren't too expensive ?

Ace hardware has a coax switching box, I guess for TV's mainly, with
pushbuttons.
Think this would do the job for my scanner stuff, or probably just junk ?
It's really cheap at about $8

Thanks,
Bob


A CATV A-B switch? It should only be a few dollars. Although the spec
may only be up to (say) 870Mhz, they are probably OK (for your purpose)
to 1.3GHz +.
