Finally found a method that could allow a signal out of switch engine channel.
All that's left is to delete the beacon and reconstruct the block!
Using to switch-engines in a wave going through a double wide swimmers lane allows the switch engines to come make it farther out of the swimmers lane before destroying the conduit than the a single switch engine would alone. Then the block acts as bait to release the gliders. Unfortunately it turns into a beacon. If we can delete the beacon and reconstruct the block we will have switch engine to glider signals!
Code:
Select all
x = 81, y = 93, rule = B3/S23

edit: I also have this reaction which sends gliders both ways, but it creates more debris.
Code:

edit 2:
Single switch engine swimmerlane bait using just a block. That destroys the block and makes a block.

x = 121, y = 91, rule = B3/S23
