I am thinking of replacing my existing switches with Ranko's Genius product line. The main driver is its infinite expandability and ability to control remotely over the Internet. Would greatly apprec
Rudy, I've been running the 8x2 switch for the last several months. It works awesome with my FLex 6700 as the control signals are all handled over the network. I believe the dip switches can be setup
More than a year ago, I replaced an Array Solutions 6x2 Six Pak with the older 4O3A unit with the goal of improving isolation between antennas in my station. I measured the isolation of both units on
very interesting Jim I always wanted to change my arraysolution sixpack, that failed several time when switching antennas My actual setup is Elecraft K3 x 2, ArralSolution Bandmasters III x 2, Sixpac
May I use the 4O3A Antenna Genius 8 x 2 Plus? Or I will need to change my band decoders also? Jorge, I don't know the Bandmaster decoders, but all I had to do was rewire between the band decoder and
I have the 8x2 and his XL filters and combiner. His gear is AMAZING. I can't recommend highly enough. The only time I see something on another band when transmitting is on the 2nd harmonic, and it is

I do not think that is an issue Jorge. I never liked rotary switches and I do not use the Array Solutions supplied switches with their SixPak or StackMatch. The 4O3A relay box has impressive specific
I use the 8x2 remotely. I don't recall ever having a problem where i had to reset it, but i would make sure you could remotely cycle your 12v supply on and off just in case. For some reason i cant ge
Be VERY cautious about that -- some radios, like K3s, write their most recent settings to RAM when they are turned off with the power switch. Killing power to the radio does not allow that to happen,
Thanks Jim. I was speaking specifically about his power source for the antenna genius. As always, it is best to shut things down softly before jerking power out from under them, but when all else fai
Hi John well, in my case that I dont have any skills for wiring, and setup all, I prefer something like plug and play. I always asked Jay why the sixpack boxes donīt have a connector to plug a cable
I have been using 2x8 switch since July. It is an awesome product. That being said, It took about 8 weeks for it to get here and I am still waiting for the interface genius that was ordered at the sa
