[TowerTalk] 6 x 2 unit...

[Richard Thorne]

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Most of the station pic's are now out of date as I now have a Flex 6700 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  The Array Solutions 8x2 switch has been 
replaced by a 4O3A antenna genius.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.
