hi all,

anyone have experience with a plugin(switch) for a handheld radio to go through the external antenna ie for a backup to a radio failure.  in the spirit of redudancy, i was thinking of adding this to my panel as early on i had a stuck mike(fixed with replacement of the audio panel) and i thought this may be a worthwhile backup.  however, upon looking further into this, apparently it may rob the panel mounted radios of db's and i have read that when it is used it may damage the panel mounted radios. fact or fiction?  is it worthwhile? downsides?

thanks,
