My story fishy? M2 sells the ANTENNA with no switching hardware for $291.
Add the circularity sw and shipping and you just hit $500. Might get away
with a Tohtsu relay but without custom made phasing cable, you would have
vertical and horizontal polarization only.
Still no return calls from those people.
See the pics. What a disaster.
