Of course, in an SO2R scenario where the shared amplifier alternates between two different bands with every transmission, a shared ATU would exercise the relays a lot. Separate tuners might be needed in order to avoid the relays wearing out.

From there a smart 2x6 antenna switching unit some well designed BPF filters and your well on your way. The rest of the magic is then just firmware (says he that writes said firmware every day) within the upgraded processor the KPA1500 has been blessed with. I'm fingers crossed.. 73 Matthew VK5ZM On 26 April 2017 at 22:37, Thomas Donohue <tomdo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi to all: > > Wayne or Eric.
