First an apology if another section would have been more appropriate...
I found out quite by accident that this Dosy has pretty poor isolation between positions when I forgot to reconnect the coax from my I-Max to the aux post on the back of the SW-4. I was receiving fairly strong signals from stations 5-10 miles out but they did seem a little lower than usual. Turns out the switch was in aux position with no antenna attached and I was receiving from the Gizmotchy thru the leaky switch. Now I am guessing when I transmit thru the I-Max I must also be sending some of my RF to the beam and vice/versa? Is there any mod that can be done to this switch to give it better isolation between positions? Or are there suggestions for a good switch that has a lot better isolation?
I had an old school Kicker SW-4 that I used for years that has a lot more positive feeling switch and minus the circuit board that is in the Dosy and It is no better?

Fixed the issue, took the Dosy out of line and replaced it with a Delta 4 switch console by Alpha Delta.
