Using 6500, PGXL and TGXL and 2x8 ant switch

I have a 6500. I want to run Ant 1 into the PGXL A and TGXL A and go out to one side of my Array Solutions 2x8 antenna switch. Then do the same on ANT 2 and B on the PGXL and B on the TGXL. When I TX on Ant 1 all is good. I go to ANT 2 it’s actually transmitting on Ant 1 and 2 at the same time. This has got to me a setting right?

    I simply want to be able to change to ANT 1 or ANT 2 and transmit and receive off one or the other side independently.

    first make sure you have latest TG Xl 1.2.11 and PG XL 3.8.9

    In PG XL configuration, make sure CAzt is unchecked for A&B. In Flex tab set A to radio s/n, Ant1 and LAN keying. B should be Ant2, Radio s/n, and LAN keying

    In TG XL configuration Set Flex tab to radio s/n & Ant1. B to s/n and Ant2.

    In Genius Integration tab make sure Power Genius and Antenna Genius are unchecked.

    In radio on Settings/Radio Setup/TX tab, set TX Delay to 30.

    If all this is checked, you could have a bad relay in the radio. How are you controlling the antenna switch?
