FLEXRADIO ANTENNA GENIUS 8x2 - STACKING TRI-BANDERS

Using the Flexradio Antenna Genius 8x2 I would like to stack my two tri-band antennas. To do this I would need a way to activate two relays being feed by a single radio output. I plan to use my network within my home to remotely control all equipment including the Flexradio Antenna Genius 8x2 unit. Yes, there will be a SWR spike but manageable.

Can this be done and how?

Rich, either get some denkovi or sainsmart relay boards that can be controlled via node red. Search the community - this has been discussed many times before, or head over to the node red groups.io

KMtronics also do relay boards that can be controlled over a simple web interface.

Other option is to use the 4O3A OM Module board integrated with the 8x2 and control your stack match units from that - this is what I do. So if you move to say 10M, you will get 3 buttons available for e.g. tribander 1, tribander 2 or both that you can just click.

If you are going to have access to the AG utility tool with your remote, the latter is probably the cleanest and easiest method.

Rich M5RIC,
You have provided me with quite a few options to look into.
I now have a clearer understanding as to what needs to be done.
Thanks for reaching out to me,
