Alpha Delta is the best from what I've heard. Avoid the el-cheapos on Ebay, they are only workable to about 50MHZ even if they claim higher. Borrowed one from a friend and my SWR went nuts on 2 meters because they aren't shielded well. Was a little better on 6, but still raised the SWR higher than I would like.

For now using a barrell connector to switch antennas, and saving for the A/D 4 position one for the 2m/440 side. Will probably then save for another for the 6m side, all I can do is monitor below that, but I wouldn't mind throwing up a dipole to just listen, I'm sure I'm missing a lot just listening through my 6m vertical or loop.
