QTY 2 Antenna Genius 8x2 Switches Connected to One 6600

Rich - N5ZC

I'm in the process of changing over all of my antenna switching to a pair of 4O3A Antenna Genius's (AG). I'll have an AG mounted at the base of each of my two towers.

The two AG's will be connected to a Stack Match which will be connected to my 6600. The idea is having the ability to pick Tower 1, Tower 2 and both Tower 1 and Tower 2 combined. This will allow me to spray my signal to say EU and the Caribbean at the same time during a DX contest. Or one antenna east and the other west for domestic contest like SS.

When I bring up the Windows AG App., I can only connect to one AG or the other but not both at the same time. I'm running version 4.1.8.

I need the ability to have both AG's select the same band. How can this be done if I can only connect to one AG at a time?

Thanks

Would running two instances of the software allow you to do it, possibly?

Hi Rich, if Phil's answer doesn't solve it, reach out to 4O3A to see if they have a solution.

You need to run 2 instances of the utility, it can be done and I've got it working with 2 AG's myself. You only need to install it in 1 location but just open it up twice.

When you configure each AG, name them so you know which is which e.g. Tower 1 and Tower 2.

Open the utility and connect to the first one, then open the utility again and connect to the other.

Thanks Phil and Rich. I'll set it up for 2 instances.

Rich, I saw your question on the 4O3A community. I replied with a question but the guys at 4O3A have not replied as of yet. Maybe they will make an update to the utility one of these days so we can use one instance.

Well that was easy.

If you close the apps down when you open the first and then second instance, both will connect to the same AG, close one and then you get the choice which one to choose again.
