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 suppo

 My pair of K3S radios are in need of a 2x8 Antenna Switch for SO2R operation.  I'd like the SO2R Antenna Switch to have a built-in band decoder so the Band Data output from the  K3's ACC jack will do the switching.  I don't want an external Band Decoding unit for multiple reasons. So far, the o

Hi Dick, The 4O3A 2x8 switches are quite good, have excellent isolation. The more expensive one has even better isolation and probably has a band decoder. The switching inputs can be configured multiple ways with DIP switches. I don't recall details, because my band decoders are built into my

Jim: Dick: FWIW, I use the 4O3A Antenna Genius 8x2 with both my K3 system and my Flex-6700 system. The AG can handle BCD decoding from the Elecraft, but as I recall, the BCD decode on the AG2 does not match the Elecraft BCD decode for 60M. Otherwise, fully compatible. The Flex connects via a
