I am downsizing a large HF contest station and now concentrating on VHF DXing so this superb antenna switch is now surplus to
my needs. Perfect for SO2R contesting and day-to-day operating.

The Shack-LAN 2-10 Antenna Switch is a self-contained unit capable of handling 1500W and routing up to 10 separate antennas to
2 radios. In order to provide the highest degree of isolation, the 10 antenna ports are split into two groups of five. By connecting
antennas for adjacent bands in opposing groups (1-5 or 6-10), you can obtain over 110 db of isolation at 1.8 MHz and over 80 db
isolation at 28 MHz. Arrangement of the switching system mechanically prohibits both radios accessing the same antenna.

This switch is built with high quality components. All RF connectors are silver-plated with teflon insulation and gold plated center
pins. All RF connectors are mounted with 4 machine screws, lockwashers and nuts, not pop rivets which eventually work loose and
cause intermittent ground connections. All printed circuit boards are made from quality FR-4 material, are solder masked on both
sides and have easy to read part designators. The cabinet is of steel construction for maximum strength with aluminum front and
rear panels and is rack mountable to help keep it in place when many large coaxial cables are attached.

This switch can be controlled manually via the front panel, via Shack-LAN Ethernet-based controls or by externally applying
+12vdc to a rear panel connector for the desired antenna for each radio. When used with Shack-LAN components, you can assign
up to 8 antennas per band, including multi-band antennas, and antenna selection is fully automatic allowing the switch to be
placed in an out of the way location.

Another great feature when controlling the switch with our Shack-LAN system is the option to inhibit one radio from attempting to
select either the same antenna as the other radio or to inhibit one radio from selecting an antenna for a band that is in use on the
other radio thus providing maximum receiver protection.

Cabinet can be rack-mounted in a standard 19" rack or placed on your operating desk.

In excellent electric and cosmetic condition - I have been busy with work and fatherhood since I purchased this switch and it
consequently saw very little action.

Purchased for $829 new (each) from Array Solutions, will sell for $499.00 plus shipping & insurance. PayPal or personal check OK.
Ship UPS or you pick it up in Nashville TN area.
