Antenna switches

[Hawkeye]

I have been looking at switches and will someday have a beam to go along with the ground plane. Years ago I had a tube type amp. And I want to get a new transister amp soon. I never had a dummy load for tuning the dead key with the tube amp. Are dummy loads needed for transister amps? Cause I want to know if a 2 switch box would suffice or nice to have a 3 switch, one for the dummy load.

They are not needed but are nice to have..

I say it's better to have and not need, then to need and not have

And switching to the dummy load in thunderstorms is what i do. 058hamer
