Hello!

Please forgive me if I have missed it, but don't seem to be able to find an answer to my question so far:

Would anyone here happen to know if the PowerGenius XL will have PIN-diode instead of relay TX-RX?

Thanks!

    In SO2R Power Genius uses relays because they can make high isolation and it easy survive with 2.5kW. And the relays are quiet really.PIN diodes are less reliable on this power range.

    Pin Diodes can not give 70db Isolation at 30MHz and above !

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
