While I agree that it's likely that you have one dead port (I have 3 of those 4x1 switches, and none of them work right), you might try to experiment and switch the position of 2 of your coaxes, ie put the linear on 3 and one of the circular on 4, for example. Ie it might be something to do with the linear coax drawing more current or something, particularly if you have a motor on the linear, and the switch is on the receiver side of the motor by chance.
