Antenna Switch opinions... Asking my brothers/sisters for thoughts and ideas.

Before spending your money try to track down the data sheet for the switch. Many times you can find it on line. In other cases sending a friendly email off to the company's sales or tech support department might work.
The other thing to look at is the power handling capacity of the switch. A switch you're interested in might be cheap because it won't do more than maybe a few watts.

Yup. Kinda weary of the used or older ones for that reason.

One other thing I forgot to mention. That's the cycle life of the switch. There is usually a max number of switch cycles the device is rated for. After that you can get mechanical failures. Some of those used switches might be near the end of their cycle life and were pulled out of active service and replace with new ones. It might work for a while then fail later.

Hopefully the switch wasn't abused by switching under power. That would likely burn the contacts. You don't want to buy somebody's else's problem.

Surplus sales of Nebraska (https://www.surplussales.com) got switches too. Among many other cool things.
