Great Time Owned: more than 12 months.
We wanted an easier way to switch antennas/radios at our clubhouse (Skyview Radio Society K3MJW/W3GH). We considered two systems and decided to go with the HAMPLUS system. It has been installed since fall of 2017 and has been through numerous high-power RTTY contests, as well as everyday use by club members. The switch works great. I was concerned about port-to-port isolation. No problems at all. I was concerned about the system handling high-power at high duty cycle. No problems at all. I was concerned about impedance through the switch. No problems at all. We use the switch box with the MBD-8F controllers. The system works great. The components were purchased through DX Engineering. We did have an issue at first with the controllers that landed up being related to a bad batch of parts installed (Incorrectly identified fuses). The customer service from both HAMPLUS and DX Engineering was outstanding. This issue occurred when the system was just installed in 2017. We haven't had any problems since. I will write a review of the MBD-8F controller as well. One thing HAMPLUS stinks at is advertising. This is a GREAT switch that more people should know about. Highly recommended.
