Ranko 4O3A has taken antenna switches into the 21st century! Antenna Genius 8×2 is the first in a new antenna switch line from 4O3A Signature sitting proudly beside Rotator Genius, Interface Genius IG-M, and Station Genius SSC-XL. Features and Benefits include:
TCP/IP (100-Mbps Ethernet) built in, DHCP-assigned or manually entered address
Eight antennas routed to two rigs, perfect for SO2R and multi-op contesting or just making the most of your dual rx transceiver
160 through 6-meters
Worst case port-to-port isolation 75-dB, best in class and up to 15-dB better than some other well-regarded brands which is very helpful if you are doing SO2R including one radio full duplex (e.g., FlexRadio 6000 series)
Will handle 3,000-Watts @1.5:1 VSWR CCS (e.g., RTTY) duty cycle for five minutes
Control with your rig’s BCD band data or ‘pin to port’ (+12-VDC source activates relay), Interface IG-M, Antenna Genius Windows app (Android app on the way) or directly from FlexRadio 6000 Series SmartSDR API (see video below), fully integrated SmartSDR and other platforms control coming soon!
FlexRadio SmartSDR can assign ‘Slice A’ to Antenna Genius port A and ‘Slice B’ to Antenna Genius port B with full automatic antenna switching following SmartSDR band changes for each Slice
Automatic band changing with all modern and semi-modern rigs: FlexRadio Systems, Elecraft, Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood, Ten-Tec, et al
Hardware level interlock prevents two rigs from connecting to the same antenna
LEDs confirm correct operation
Yes, Antenna Genius 8×2 can be remotely controlled over WAN as well as LAN!
4O3A and Force 12 are working with ham equipment manufacturers and software developers to add direct LAN and WAN support for Antenna Genius 8×2 and all other 4O3A ‘Genius’ products
Rugged stainless steel chassis with wall mount flange
Powered by your shack 13.8-VDC power supply
Here’s Ranko on YouTube demonstrating Antenna Genius with a Flex 6300 connected over LAN, note how Antenna Genius 8×2 follows SmartSDR Slice A and Slice B band changes:

True Network Device
TCP/IP LAN / WAN capability was a core design capability from day one, not bolted on as an afterthought
The entire Genius product line – Interface Genius – Modem IG-M, Antenna Genius 8×2, Rotator Genius, Station Genius – are all part of the same ecosystem and work together seamlessly locally and remotely
A Platform for Future Expansion
Regular firmware updates (always free of charge) will add features to IG-M and other 4O3A Genius devices
Each 4O3A Genius device has a comprehensive API to allow deep integration with other ham gear and software (logging, contesting, digital modes, etc.)
Windows, Android and IOS will all be supported
More Genius products are coming from the 4O3A Signature lab!
