Off the top of my head a couple of other differences are:
(1) The StackMaster is for mono banders only and the StackMatch can be used
with mono or tri banders. You can have very different antennas that cover
the same bands connected to a StackMatch to provide diversity for
transmission and reception.
(2) the StackMaster requires matching stubs and the StackMatch doesn't.
My guess is the StackMan (WX0B) will chime in give us the true wisdom of
these devices.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Stackmaster/match feeding
|
| See if I have this right: The Stack-master- does not require the same
| lengths of coax for each feedline. However, it requires 10 control wires,
| and I only have 8 available.
|
| The Stack-match- requires that the feedlines be of equal length. It only
| requires 5 control wires, so I could do that. They mention locating the
box
| at the midpoint (DUH), OR at the tower base. At the base works better for
| my situation, but what do you do with the "extra" (say 35 ft) coax
required
| to make the feedlines equal length if you put the match at the base of the
| tower? I guess the "problem" is exagerated the further the antennas are
| spaced. Comments? Tnx! 73 - John
