Unfortunately google search sorted nothing. Bad luck.

I even found a 3way switch: Philmore AB7 A-B-C Coaxial Switch Antenna, Cable, VCR Switch

Alas many switch webpages report: out of stock. Is that what your problem is, "sorted nothing"?

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Being an Old School type of guy I'm using these simple A-B mechanical switches here at the moment on two of my motorised systems and have no operational losses worth talking about . At the moment I'm using them as Antenna in switched to different receivers or spectrum analyser on the two F ports

Yes, they are the ones (there are two types, one has a slightly stronger rocker system inside) but they are more or less identical in performance.

Gosh, I remember using one of those to switch between 19E and 13E in analogue days. I had two and think one still survives. Somewhere.

Well, this type of switch survived two or three eras!
From analog to first digital (DVB-S) to second digital (DVB-S2) to.... the next.
Too obvious. It is a mechanical switch!! ahaha!!!

Why? Are yours just similar but better or I was so lucky to find them at a lower price?

As mentioned above there are two versions (that I know of), I was selling them between £8-£10 but that was before P+P.

I'm not aware of the other version. Is it better maybe?
Could you please post a link? Thanks.
