box? It only selects one band. If that is the way it is set up then what is the advantage of using separate feeds for each band if your relay box only does one band at a time anyway? 73 Tommy -----Original Message----- From: wa9als [mailto:wa9als@starband.net] Sent: Sunday, July 28, 2002 7:26 AM To: Bob Henderson; Jack Brabham KZ5A; Force12Talk@qth.com Subject: Re: [Force 12 Talk] C31XRs in SO2R ??? > I am using that configuration here but with Dunestar filters.

I know you could use the C31XR on 10-15-20 and one of the dipoles or the 40M yagi, but I wanted to be real sure you mean that you can also use 2 bands on the C31XR. I think that's what you mean, since Jack was asking that question specifically. I also have a C31XR at 70ft, but I only have a single feedline from shack to tower (600ft). However, I could install a switchbox at the tower and run 3 feedlines up to the antenna, then control the switchbox remotely. Hmmmmmmmm........
