I like the Six Pack also and use one at K0PP's for SO2R and one at home. At home I added a W9XT Band Decoder and High Side Driver to automatically switch antennas on one of the ports. Haven't gotten around to adding the second side. Incidentally the band decoder is optoisolated and doesn't load the band data outputs so the decoder and the amplifier work ok together. I seem to remember some people have had problems when they added a decoder. Cheers and 73, Fred KE7X

It is the Array Solutions Six Pack it has been working very well for over 2 months and a lot of features so no foul ups. But the nice part is that it is so simple to install and use. 73, Fred/N0AZZ -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of N5GE Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2012 12:21 AM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K-Line: Antenna switching I like my Elecraft KRC2 and DX Enginering 8 Pos switch.
