After looking at their literature it appears to me that this is nothing more then two beverages, one in each direction, with the "feed unit" being, perhaps, a couple relays. I don't see the merit in using RG6 as the beverage wire: its heavy, will need more supports, and compared to other solutions, perhaps more expensive. And the fact that the feed unit can be placed anywhere along the antenna? I must be missing something clever because all that would seem to do is make one direction's wire longer and the other shorter?

All good topband ops know how to put up a beverage at night.
