That's an unabashed advert, of course, but I agree that Pickering makes nice reed relays. I've used them and I'm happy.

Reeds are expensive unreliable power hogs.
A cheap DPDT FTR-B3GA4.5Z-B10 is good at 3 GHz. There's a latching version too.

$38 Did not pay that, mine came from the used supercooler for cellphone tower filter I bought. Did not need the relays for cooling... Have several read relays too,,
Those types are fabulous in test sets and such, but not on PC boards.
I recently used a bunch of ADRF5024 IC RF switches. 44 GHz. Expensive. Work great.

It switches between signals mid-waveform, in around 6 ns.
I wonder what that Pickering thing costs.
