    Lucas, you are right, I found this after midnight after more digging.
    Ant 1 on Flex is assigned to all bands, and Ant 2 to 6m only.
    I can fix it, and test it more - it should work.

    Now , here is the concern - with above scenario, I feel like i do not have a protection. In case i switch to a wrong antenna, wrong profile, based on the video I will push power through a wrong output of AG and also will have a Hot switch during TX.
    Please correct me if I am wrong here.

    I did not transmitted anything yet on AG, it just sitting on my desk with power and LAN cables connected.
    At this time I am just learning it and trying to make sence of the logic.
    Thanks everyone.
    Sergey, KN7K

    yes...but have you assigned the Radio Ant2 port to  the Antenna port B on the Antenna Genius ? See the AG  Application setup tab for FlexRadio  configuration.

    That is all correct then...  have you tried a new LAN cable?... .  Also toggle all switch 0-8 on then off again then remove and restore power to the AG unit.
    If that does not do the trick them email Dan Quigley N7HQ [at] 4O3A.com.  He is the representative for 403A products in No. America and should be able to help you out immediately.

    Glad you are figuring it out, it is a little different but I got the hang of it now as well. If I understood correctly when I read up on this, there is a fail safe in place to prevent such switching from occurring but If I am mistaken someone please jump in and correct me. For sure I want to know if I am wrong about this as am not into frying things. 

    I have been using it, and am using it as am writing this with not a single issue so far. Actually I am quite happy with my purchase and compliments my setup quite nicely. 

    As a  side note to other reading this as well: I mounted it outside in a watertight box so now instead of 5 coax cables I have only 2 LMR400 coming in for HF use. Really cleaned up the wiring in the shack and the ability to mix and match antennas on different slices rocks.
