I got no answer to my question on the UK ham newsgroup, so I try here.

Many years ago Lee Electronics (London, 400 Edgware Rd,) used to sell small coaxial switches labelled "Coaxial toggle switch". They consisted of a small nickel-plated brass cube bearing, on four of its faces, three UHF-type connectors and one small lever. Those were UK-made items.

Since Lee Electronics closed down, I never saw those switches on sale anywhere. They are noy easy to search on Google.

Does anyone know where to find them?

Thanks in advance & 73.

Just in case you don't find what you are looking for: Dow-key makes nice
coaxial antenna relays, and many of them have an additional set of contacts
that can be used for muting. I see eBay has bunch, many of which are new.

Thanks, but I have plenty of relays, Amphenol-FXR, Dambury-Knudsen, Thotsu, Transco, Radiall, Dow-Key, etc. etc. The nice thing of the toggle switch is that its male UHF connector can be directly screwed onto the transceiver UHF connector, and moving the small lever you can select two antennas. Very small and handy.

I have two of those toggle switches, bought around 1980, but I would like to buy more now. Noone seems to sell them!

check the ham radio magazines and dealers; they carry the manually switched
coaxial switches.
