PowerGenius pass-thru question

Reference the two Input and two SO-239's on the PowerGenius XL.  When one set of in/out SO-239's are active, are the unused set of SO-239's being passed through?  Or are the unused SO-239 in/out connections just open?

    Passed through. It basically wants to behave like two amplifiers that can only produce one signal at a time. But you can TX on one while RX on the other for true SO2R.

    Can we also assume it can do true pass through which would be transmitting though both sides at the same time with the first transmitter keyed getting the amp and the second transmitter keyed coming out barefoot?

    Probably. I don’t know if it is designed for that though. There is nothing stopping you from doing that but I’m not sure if equipment damage will occur.

    Perhaps my post needs some clarification.  I assume the amplifier will only amplify one input/output connection at a time... for example Input 1 to output 1 (or output 2).  But assuming the transceiver 1 is being amplified and passed on to output 1, would a transceiver that's connected to input 2 be passed-thru to output 2 (un-amplified)?
