works fine  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
This review is for the MFJ 1260.
I use this switch with my Icom 756 Pro II to use either the hand mike or the Heil Proset ic. No jumper settings need to be changed to use either mike. The default jumpers are set up for same mikes with same brand rigs. I have no RF problems and it sure makes switching mikes easy and convenient. I also have two MFJ 1262 units I use on my other rigs.

RF on signal  Time owned: 6 to 12 months
Update for the MFJ 1261: Maybe I should have waited a while before I made my review. The mic switch works fine but when the HF amplifier is in use it picks up RF. I have both the MFJ 1261 mic switch and the 1275 sound card interface when I bypass them no RF but, at 100 watts they work fine. I have the same RF on 2M and 70CM when I run power on those bands.

One mic two different rigs  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
For me the MFJ 1261 is great I have a Kenwood TS570-S and a Kenwood TS790-A I can use my MC60-A mic on both radios without unplugging from one to the other. It saves ware and tear on the radios, and with multiple mic/radio combos we all have picked up the wrong mic at one time or another. You also can set it up for different pin combinations for different brands of radios.
