8x2 v2 Plus is a matrix antenna switch which can route eight antennas to two
radios using a variety of control methods. Software and hardware interlocks - double protection
- prevent the same antenna from being connected to both radios. This, along with AG’s ultra-
high port-to-port isolation help protect your radios from front end damage.

Multiple control options
You have five ways to control your AG:
1.
FlexRadio over your TCP/IP network; AG will automatically follow two different Slice
band selections and obtain band data from them
2.
Manual band switching from the AG Windows app connected via your network
3.
BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal) signals via the DE-15 VGA-style connector from any radio
(Yaesu, Elecraft…)
4.
+12 VDC “Pin-to-Port” via the DE-15 VGA-style connector

SO2R and multi-op with a single FLEX-6000
AG’s extreme port-to-port isolation is perfect for SO2R (Single Operator 2 Radio) contesting with
a single Flex rig! With AG, you can operate SO2R with one radio using a single FLEX-6600 or
FLEX-6700 transceiver in full duplex mode. In other words, the ‘two radios’ in SO2R are both
inside your single Flex rig!
