I'm sure the 4O3A products are excellent...
But budget is a consideration, and I already own the SixPak. Further, I
will be operating at the 100W level when SO2R. In years past, the
isolation between bands wasn't a problem for the SixPak at my station at
100W - I didn't even need a bandpass filter, although I did use them at
first. I may ultimately end up with a better switch, but for now, my main
interest is in automating antenna selection and providing for an auxiliary
antenna.
