I have been thinking about a Triplexer to share my Tribander with both
radios...what Triplexers do you suggest ?

Unless you are going to invest in a triplexer, two band pass filters and a
SO2R controller having a 6X2 or 4X2 unit will be of little benefit.

A few words about this relative to SO2R.  You only need a full 6 x 2 if you
have monoband antennas.  If, for instance you have a tribander, a 40/80
vert, and an inv L on 160, then you only have a need for 3 slots.  Same with
a band decoder.  So you should start by mapping out the planned antenna
configurations and then decide.  Also, how fae is the base of the tower from
the shack?  If the tower is pretty close and there are not 6 antennas out
there, a simple manual switching system could work fine - properly labeled.



The YCCC (www.yccc.org) has a SO2R box kit.  There may be others.  The issue
is obtaining all the parts.



MFJ sells a manual 2 x6 switch which could make sense if the tower is right
on the other side of the wall from the station set up or if the tower is
directly on the roof above.
