Shane,

I've used one of those WX0B 6M Stackmatches since 2001 with no 
problems.  In my setup, I have three dissimilar 6M antennas and I use 
the Stackmatch to switch between them or to drive more than one for 
different coverage areas.

Perhaps this is a fine point, but the Stackmatch will not do phase 
control on its own.  You can tack on phasing cables externally and do 
certain forms of phase control, but then you could do that with 
standalone relays too.

For what I use it for, it's perfect.

73,

Dave/K8CC
