SO9I StackMatch 3×1 Controller
A compact desktop controller for the SO9I StackMatch 3×1, providing instant manual selection of all seven possible antenna combinations using a simple rotary control and clear LED indication.
Controller Only - Control Cable Not Included
This listing is for the SO9I StackMatch 3×1 Controller only. The StackMatch RF switching unit, power supply and interconnecting control cable are not included.
Connection to the StackMatch requires a DB9 female / RS-232 to DB9 female / RS-232 control cable. Only five conductors are required by the control system, allowing a relatively thin signal cable to be used between the shack and StackMatch installation.
Control the Entire Stack from the Operating Position
The SO9I StackMatch 3×1 Controller provides the dedicated manual-control interface for the SO9I StackMatch switching system.
Rather than reaching for multiple switches or changing feedlines, a single rotary control lets you select one antenna, combine any two antennas, or activate all three outputs together.
Three front-panel LEDs provide an immediate visual indication of the live configuration, making it easy to see exactly which antennas are selected before transmitting.
Every Possible 3-Antenna Selection
Fast, Direct Selection
The selector provides eight mechanical positions, with seven positions used for the available StackMatch antenna combinations. There are no menus or software controls to navigate during normal operation.
See the Active Outputs
Three LEDs correspond with the three StackMatch antenna outputs. When more than one antenna is selected, the relevant LEDs illuminate together to show the active combination.
DB9 Female to DB9 Female
A control lead is not supplied with the controller. To connect it to the StackMatch, you will need a suitable DB9 female / RS-232 to DB9 female / RS-232 cable.
The control interface requires only five conductors, so the installation does not require a large multicore control cable. This is particularly useful where the StackMatch is positioned remotely from the operating desk.
Straightforward Station Integration
The controller operates from 12V DC using a 5.5/2.5mm DC power socket, making it easy to integrate into a typical 12V amateur-radio station power system.
