I have a triplexer and band pass filters from 4O3A. They work very
well. Pics on my qrz.com page. You have to tune right on the harmonic
to hear any noise. I may add some additional coax stubs to reduce that
but I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble.
Most of the station pic's are now out of date as I now have a Flex 6700
and everything is rack mounted. The Array Solutions 8x2 switch has been
replaced by a 4O3A antenna genius. All switching is now driven by the
Flex via ethernet.
The only thing that has not changed is the 4O3A filter install.

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.
