The 4O3A 2x8 Antenna Genius now uses v4 firmware. All settings programmable via Windows based app. No need to set dip switches. You can have different radios on A or B port. You can program one or more antennas per band. If one antenna per band then antenna switching becomes automatic.
It supports BCD from Elecraft K3/K4. Bob, N6TV makes the Y Box and custom Elecraft to 4O3A wired 15 pin cables. I bought a Y box and cable for my K4D. Great quality from Bob. You can also control the switch from the app or via the API using software such as Node Red. If you need further info on the 2x8, ask via direct e-mail or here. 73 Dave wo2x Sent from my iPad > On Aug 31, 2024, at 10:30 PM, Jim Brown <j...@audiosystemsgroup.com> wrote: > > Hi Dick, > > The 4O3A 2x8 switches are quite good, have excellent isolation.
