Great stuff, look forward to it.

I didn't make this one.

Now this is what you call a diversity controller/antenna. Should get 360 degrees from this baby.

Rixx,
You could try using video switches such as the ones in this link

Some of them are quite inexpensive

There are plenty dedicated video switches, but I can't get them locally and shipping takes weeks. And more money. I put there relay I bought for 2 eur and it works great

Well I can't argue with that!

Yikes

That appears to be an 8 channel 16 element(?) 360 degree helix antenna. Nicely teamed with (what looks like) 2 x Avalon RF DX604 4- Antenna Diversity Receivers... the receivers alone cost $7789.90; and not surprisingly for that sort of money each receiver is a "true diversity" receiver with a bandwidth of 16MHz.

Rixx I'd also be interested in code for your arduino diversity

I'm awaiting Bruce's approval to publish this. Then I'll put here code and circuit. Please stand by

Bruce's!!!
