Midland Albrecht CX-5 commutatore d'antenna a 3 vie 7402

Managing multiple antennas without constant cable swapping is a challenge for radio operators. The Midland Albrecht CX-5 3-Way Antenna Switch 7402 solves this by allowing you to connect up to three antennas to a single radio and select between them with a simple rotary knob. This manual switch is built for reliable RF performance from DC to 800 MHz, making it suitable for amateur radio and other RF applications.

Who is it for

This antenna switch is ideal for amateur radio enthusiasts, shortwave listeners, and RF technicians who need to switch between multiple antennas without degrading signal quality. It is perfect for base stations, field operations, or any setup where space and convenience matter.

Main features

• 3-way manual switching: one input, three outputs for versatile antenna management.
• Wide frequency coverage: operates from DC to 800 MHz, covering HF, VHF, and UHF bands.
• High power handling: supports up to 1000 W PEP and 200 W CW, suitable for high-power transceivers.
• Low insertion loss: less than 0.2 dB at 500 MHz ensures minimal signal attenuation.
• Excellent isolation: greater than 50 dB at 500 MHz prevents interference between ports.
