PG XL + Tuner Genius + Flex 6500

in Tuner Genius XL

I expect to purchase a PG XL and Tuner Genius 1x3 to mate with my Flex 6500. There are three antennas: a 10m - 40m beam, an 80m dipole, and a 160m long wire. What is the "best" interconnection setup for this non-remote home station? If I add a 6m antenna, what antenna switch is recommended?

Thanks for any advice...Mike, K6DRY

    Plug all three and PC into the router directly or into a gigabit Ethernet switch. One antenna into each port on tuner.

    RX1 out of radio to A in on amp, A out of amp to input on tuner.

    In tuner band configuration on 1x3 you can define which antenna to use per band. If you decide to expand past three antennas in the future look at the 4O3A line of antenna switches.

    I run my setup as Dave described and have no issues.

    Currently use a Palstar HF-Auto so no SO2R but when Tuner Genius arrives I am switching to SO2R configuration.
