"THE evolution of HAM RADIO"

 A very simple way to save alot of money on coax! 

The VE2DX Electronics 2X6 Remote Antenna Switch can save you a lot of money since you only have to run two coaxes up the tower instead of twelve!  It will let you simultaneously share all six antennas on two HF/6M radios from any manufacturer!

 WHY? 

 Well, simple: if you have a tri bander (20/15/10), a dipole (80/40, 6M beam, WARC Diple, and possibly a couple of other HAM or SWL HF antennas, and two radios from any manufacturer, and want to share all of these with both radios, number of coaxes to do this, and the cabling spider net in the shack is pretty bad! The VE2DX Electronics 2X6 Remote antenna switch will let you run two coaxes (one for each radio and a control cable to the box on top of the tower and share ALL 6 antennas with any radios.This can be done while BOTH radios from ANY manufacturers (even mismatch!) are TRANSMITTING, thanks to the very high RF isolation of the VE2DX Electronics 2X6 Remote Antenna Switch. 

 Will it work on my older radio? 

 The VE2DX Electronics 2X6 Remote Antenna Switch is made for any radios from any manufacturer, even if they are mismatched! Even better, if you are a contested, stacking two VE2DX 2X6 Face to and running your Band Pass Filters (BPF) between them will let you select both the antenna with the first one on top of the tower and ALSO the BPF in the shack! 

 What features do you offer? 

 The VE2DX Electronics IAB3-Dual as;

- All control, power and grounds are RFI Filtered.

- All VE2DX Electronics PCBs are ALWAYS fully shielded on both sides.

- Very high isolation between radios and antennas thanks to 30 high quality relay design. 

- Unused antenna termination, all unused antennas are ALWAYS either; Grounded (Default), Open or terminated with the load of your choice.

- Outdoor NEMA enclosure.

- Optional 2X6 Interlock PCB can be added in the outdoor NEMA enclosure or in the shack.

- Designed with 30 relays that work in groups of five.

- Designed to be stacked with the VE2DX Electronics 2X6 Interlock. 

 Do you make these yourself? 

 This is an easy question... ME! All electronics design, PCB design, and firmware are made by US and no one else! VE2DX Electronics is a proud Canadian Company; we make all our products ourselves.

My SO2R remote switch was always a great seller and is used all over the place, it was time to look at its evolution, and here it is THE VE2DX SO2R REMOTE SWITCH Version 2.  The new Version can be built with 18 or 30 relays, in the 30 relays configuration it has a much better RFI solution thanks to dual relays on each side of the antenna feed, it offers the user the possibility to ground, leave open or load with 50ohms any antennas not being used.

It still comes with RF filtered 12VDC or 24VDC select antenna control, filtered grounding, and two optionally filtered 12VDC outputs that can be used with the optional VE2DX SO2R 2X6 Interlock PCB.

And there is also the usage of those for switching BPF from different bands on the fly in multiple radios setup.  Where you simply install a pair of 2X6 switches face to face and plug your BPFs into each antenna ports on each side, thus ANT1 becomes BPF 80M lets say and ANT2 becomes BPF 40M, and so on...
Well, my 2X6 is also great for that AND combine with my upcoming BAND DECODER that will have separate BPF and antenna output you will be able to control automatically both BPF 2X6 Switches and the Remote Antenna switch, this is important, look at a simple 3 band beam (TH3MK3 in my case) it has 10M, 15M and 20M, so for the 2X6 remote antenna switch, all 3 bands are the same Antenna Output...  But for the pair of BPF 2X6 Switch, they are 3 different bands, this means that the BPF 2X6 switch WILL NOT be set the same way as the 2X6 Remote Switch.  Now weather the 2X6 Remote Switch is in the shack or like mine on top of the tower is a debate for my next argument!
