RE: [TowerTalk] Decoder/Remote Antenna Switch Question

[WD0M <wd0m@centurytel.net>]

I use the Alpha Digital Antenna Selector with my Alpha 87a and Icom 756Pro 
- works absolutely great!  The relay box is an Array Solutions 
product.  Between these two pieces of hardware, you're capable of doing the 
SO2R thing easily.  I used the Array solutions relay box in Alaska for 
years, with no failure at all, despite incredible cold (-40) , wind (125 
mph) and snow (20 feet).
