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 :D

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