Achieve Shack Harmony. 

Operate intelligently and make the most out of your dual RX transceiver. Perfect for your 6600, 6700, or any mix of radios for Single Operator, Two Radio (SO2R) and multi-operator contesting. The Antenna Genius 8×2 is a smart matrix antenna switch that supports eight antennas and two radios. Intentionally designed for LAN/WAN control to help you realize the potential of your shack.
