Anyone have experience using this combination? In particular, I'm trying to figure if the "Genius" can be controlled directly from the K-3 ACC using it's band data info.
I'm controlling my 8x2 Antenna Genius from the per-band switched 12V outputs of two 5B4AGN bandpass filter band decoders. The 5B4AGN unit is driven from the K3 ACC output. The Antenna Genius is pretty flexible in how it can be controlled. There are dip switches that select the control logic. The manual is online, but when I was installing my Antenna Genius a year or two ago, the 8x2 was a brand new product and the manual wasn't as complete as it should have been, so I had to get pin-outs of the DB connector from Ranko via email.
The Antenna Genius 8x2 has EXCELLENT RF performance, with greater than 100 dB isolation between outputs for any combination of selected outputs on all bands, and very low SWR. My measurements were done with a 50 Ohm VNA and all unused outputs unterminated, which is worst case.
