2m Antenna Switch

[KG5BVM]

I am setting up RemoteRig using a Yaesu ft-8900R and will be using a 2m beam, a VHF/UHF vertical, a 10M Vertical and a 6m vertical. I can use the AS-1289 for the 6 and 10m antennas but need someway to switch between the 2m beam and the 2m/70cm vertical. Any SOLID suggestions for a VHF/UHF Switch that will work with the MicroBit Webswitch 1216H?

Thanks in advance for the benefit of your experience and knowledge.

Hi

A filter may solve it

if you prefeer switching I guess you should go for KOAX relays when UHF is involved

Thank you for the leads. The FT-8900r already has a built in combiner and that will work well between the 10m, 6m and either the 2m beam OR the VHF/UHF vertical. The problem comes when using 2 different antennas with the same frequency. At that point, I would need to be able to switch between the 2.

I need the 2m beams to hit repeaters in the 3 major metropolitan areas surrounding my remote tower but want the vertical so I can "listen" 360 degrees. I do not like the deaf area behind my beams so I want to be able to use the omni directional vertical and when needed to listen 360 degrees and still be able to remotely turn my beams to a contact, especially in an emergency situation.

The Tothtsu CZX 3500 seems to be the one I am looking for. I would have never found it until you pointed me to the Tohtsu line of switches.

Thank you

Yes, we have used hundreds of Tothtsu relays in commercial products and they are very reliably
