Antenna Genius is awesome

W2PP

So, I got my antenna genius about a month ago.  Today mounted in its NEMA enclosure, its now on top of my tower where all the coax comes together.  Awesome performance!!  My tower is 365 ft away so CAT 6 was used to feed it.  The AG only pulls a few hundred miliamperes which made wiring that in a trivial task.  Software setup, well, never read the instructions and all is working !!  Tell the AG your radio serial number and it finds it on my LAN just great!! 

What I love is that their are no longer any USB hiccoughs, which is what I had with my prior system ...shortly to go on sale on Eham.  

Well done guys, this is bullet proof ....rock solid no matter how fast I zip around the bands.  

Hey I give you grief when you need it and high praise when you deserve it and you do!

Oh, forgot to say, its the 8x1

Thanks Larry,

I was suspicious that the 8x2 would be better engineered than the 8X1 since it is designed as an SO2R switch and would really need a lot of isolation.  I was also suspicious when I saw there are no specifications given on the advertisements for the 8X1, the specifications are only shown on the 8X2 advertisement page. 

I am still waiting for 4O3A support to email me, or for VibroPlex to return my call concerning this poor isolation in my 8X1 unit.  If the 8X1 does not have the same specifications as the 8X2, it should have been made clear in the advertising. 

I see that VK4ACN has the same problem with his 8X1 Antenna Genius.  If there are any readers of this post that have the 8X1 Antenna Genius I would appreciate hearing from them concerning the port to port isolation that are experiencing.
