Switching antenna between a TX and RX UHF module

[onestone]

As Bruw noted conventional relays exhibit high losses at UHF, you can
use an antenna switch, specifically designed for this task. Clarke and
Severn stock them, Honeywell amongst others make them. If you can live
with the losses through a standard relay keep using it.



**By his own admission (Look I'm no electrical engineer, Why do I need a high frequency relay ?) the OP has
indicated that he wouldn't understand anything about the losses you are referring to.

Except that, even without knowledge in a specific field if I asked a
question along the lines of why do I need a specialised part, and the
response was that standard parts exhibit loss, that effectively answered
my question without requiring any technical understanding. Loss is loss,
and generally undesirable, in the context given the implication is that
the loss is the undesirable side effect. The only requirement therefore
is a simple knowledge of English.

** But he was left "at a loss" by that explanation.

** A non-technical understanding of a technical matter is a wonder to
behold.

Or possibly a nightmare to be avoided.

Loss is loss,

** My gain is your loss etc.

and generally undesirable,

** Except when you ask someone to "get lost".

in the context given the implication is that the loss is the undesirable

side effect.


** In nature energy can neither be created nor destroyed - so a loss
needs to be explained.

Where did it go - and who the * hell * has got it now ????

The only requirement therefore is a simple knowledge of English

** Ahh, if only it were that simple - then the poms could explain all.

IME the buggers can explain **** all.
