Switch box for key/paddles?

Mike Markowski
I'd like to have a switch box to switch a key between multiple rigs.
Does such a thing already exist?  It's a simple project but many times
prefab comes cheaper.  My google attempts aren't turning up anything,
though, so any pointers are appreciated.  Thanks!

73,

you might think about grabbing one of these AV switchers / videogame
selectors that switch video plus left & right audio... some have
rotary switches, some have pushbuttons...switching up to 5 different devices,

I've bought some very "inexpensively",,,usually at
fleamarkets/hamfests for 5$,,,
try ebay for "video game selector"...for 10-12$ shipped,,,
just hope they don't short any of the terminals when not in use like
an antenna switch might,

I have used similiar switches to switch between linears...  even with
the key in , key out switching on some xcvrs/ampscombos.

happy new year,,,,
