# 6x2 Antenna switch IP control

> This unit reads BCD band data from two transceivers and automaticaly switches antennas with colision protection and blocking power amplifier

Original author: remoteqth (source: https://remoteqth.com/6x2-antenna-switch-control.php)

## Components

- **WIZnet W5500** x 1 ([docs](https://docs.wiznet.io/Product/Chip/Ethernet/W5500))

WIZnet parts: W5500 ([Datasheet](https://docs.wiznet.io/Product/Chip/Ethernet/W5500/datasheet?utm_source=maker&utm_medium=project&utm_campaign=w5500), [product hub](https://maker.wiznet.io/products/w5500/))

## Article

*This unit reads BCD band data from two transceivers and automaticaly switches antennas with colision protection and blocking power amplifier during PTT active - hot switch protection. Could be controlled also from simple web interface or manualy from front panel knob*

Designed for

- [**Modular Antenna switch**](https://remoteqth.com/modular-antenna-switch.php)

- [**6 to 2 switch.**](https://remoteqth.com/six-to-two-antenna-switch.php)

- blocks two TRXs on same Antenna output.

- **Blocks during PTT - hot switch** - can not change antenna output, if PTT is activated.

- **Disconnect PTT line** - if collision detected.

- **Three ways** of control
  - **BCD band data.**
  - **Manually.**
  - **IP remote** via simple web interface (if optional ethernet module instaled).

- **Outputs control LOW or HIGH -** selected by internal jumper and IC - see manual.
  - **ULN2803A** open collector driver - switching antenna relay with grounded outputs.
  - **UDN2580A** supply 12V power driver - switching antenna relay with 12V power outputs.

- **Measured input DC power voltage** - because the same power is used for antenna relay switching, low voltage warning is shown on the LCD screen.

- **Two TRX.**

- **6 antennas.**

- Output connector **included power** for switch - all in one cable.

- **BLOCKED**
  - **More inpunts in same time** = select only one antenna for each TRX.
  - **Colision between TRX and the same antenna (antenna in use).**
  - **Switching during PTT ON (HOT switch protection),** separately for each TRX.

- **SHOW on LCD**
  - Antenna number output
  - Colision
  - PTT ON
  - Name of the antenna
  - Manual(parking) or BCD input activate

- **Two line LCD,** one for each TRX.

- **12-15V** DC power (13,8V recomended) .

- **160x110x50 mm** size.

- **340g** weight.
