The wx0b sixpak has 6 inputs (one for each band) that can go to either one
of two outputs. They are interlocked against putting both radios on the
same antenna. You would not be able to have two stations on the same band
this way, but in m/s that is not something you usually want to do anyway.

> I'm looking to build or buy an antenna switching system suitable for a M/S
> station. What I really need is some ideas about the configuration. Minimum
> requirements are:
> - 12 antennas
> - 2 transceivers
> - possibility to connect any to any
> - possibility to interdict some switching configurations, programmable
> - 1.5 kW capable
>
> The main reason for requirement #4 is due to the fact that one of the
> antennas is a F12 C4XL, tribander+40m with two feeders. Obviously a
> configuration like RUN on tribander + MULT on 40m section is not possible.
>
> I looked into the obvious configuration, a relay matrix 2 rows/12 columns,
> with some wired or programmed logic. The problem I see is due to 12 open
> contacts in parallel with a few picofarads capacitance each. I calculated

> filters
> in line, with one station transmitting and the other receiving, the
