Another Great Tool from Array Solutions

I ordered the TwoPak Plus last Fall to remotely switch between the vertical I use for 80, 40 and 30M and a new 160M L. The TwoPak Plus works exactly as advertised, and has held up well over the Winter and a rainy Spring. With the internal Bias-T unit, no control wires are needed. The relay voltage goes through the coax. The tradeoff is that the power handling drops to 2KW from 5KW with the control-line required version.
I only have two minor gripes, neither of which seriously affect my overall excellent rating of this product. The control switch, which is a toggle mounted on a small U-shaped aluminum frame with the control wires running to it, is pretty crude looking. In addition, the labels and scematic on the TwoPak itself were hand drawn with a permanent marker. For the cost of this unit, having something that looks better than one of my slapped together homebrew projects would be nice.

this is a great device that you cant find just anywhere. it can be used for many different apps, i use mine to switch between 2 amps off of one rig to one antenna. you can use it to switch between 2 antennas or just whatever you can dream up . i ordered another for i different tower.
the vhf one can be used if you have fm and ssb in the same rig and use 2 different antennas, just flip a switch and you wont have to get back there and hook up that other antenna. i know you could a cheap manual one but have you ever used a dummy load and checked the impedence and or reactance you get off of some of those??
