Paul,
I would never recommend such a device if your a serious VHFr
They leak and will pick up alot of external signals that are not on VHF!
I think a famous DX record in the UK was claimed by two 28 MHz drivers and
leaky connections in the 70s!
I would only recommend good solid cables and connectors and no switch if
your wanting your system to remain at the best performance. The A/B type
switches are generally not good and will "leak" signal across the switch
ports.
You can use the offset command in the K2 menu to trim the transverter onto
an accurate external signal - as long as your really sure that your are
100Hz off!!! dont rely on the local beacon ;-)
