Only Switch Box That Will Mix The Signals! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
The Dosey A-SW-4 does something that that no other switch boxes do, anymore. It will mix the signals from two antennas or radios. This means that you can receive on two antennas with one radio at the same time or receive on two radios from one antenna at the same time. The connections can be isolated when you need it. I don't think any other switch box maker still offers those features. It is also the highest quality switch box of its type for the money. Lastly, it will sit on top of a desk or under a car seat without having an octopus mess of cables awkwardly running everywhere. A classic good design!

Does what it's supposed to do Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I’ve had my Dosy A-SW-4 for about 6 months, and it seems to work great. I bought it used at a hamfest but it’s in like new condition. Does what it’s supposed to do, and I can’t see any signal degradation on my s-meter when it’s inline (compared to a direct hook up). I use it to switch between antennas, though the markings on the front are meaningless in my situation. I paid $15 for mine; I have no clue what they sell for new.

Solved a unique problem very nicely. Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
In my shack, I run 2 receivers and one transceiver. I use the Dosy switch to select rx1, rx2, tx, or rx1 and rx2 together. Works perfect!

The insides of the switch are quite hollow. There are no wires, it is done on a printed circuit board, very efficiently too. Nicely made, and it is especially nice that all antenna connections are on the back panel, not all around the sides like most switches, which makes it impossible to have them sitting on a desk. The Dosy sits on the desk nicely.
