The modern contest station is incredibly complex. A good approach when planning is of vital importance. From designing the towers and antenna systems to the radio room and automation.
The best approach to this work is professional – planning every element carefully and in advance.
We offer this as a service – everything from planning, projecting (where applicable) to physical installation and short training.

Antenna system design

New technologies have intruded significant changes in antenna system concepts. Triplexer and quadriplexer have enabled a greater efficiency of antennas, lowering the required number of towers. This concept varies bases on the geographical location of the station. Big competitive stations of today can be designed with three tall towers carrying antennas from 80M to 10M.

Switching system

Every complex station has a complex switching system and automation. This is key and it’s one of the main determining factors for your stations “power”. Quick QSY, safe interlock and easy reconfiguration of the station are all preconditions that have to be fulfilled.
Our Genius Family of antenna switchers, additional utility switches, filters and combiners, along with the Power Genius amplifier and FlexRadio enable nearly every action executed through the LAN network.

The flexibility of this system is unlimited.

Future upgrades

So far the big stations have upgraded their infrastructure by implementing new devices into the system. This usually required complete rewiring. Because of this many stations have had to completely change their hardware during each modernization process.
Our new Genius concept is based on the principle that every device has TCP/IP (LAN) communication. This opened up an unsuspected possibility for improvements. Imagination, now turned to firmware code, is the only limit.
Over the upcoming period new firmware versions will enable new options and possibilities, without having to replace hardware.
Power Genius, Antenna Genius, Rotor Genius and Tuner Genius are the best examples of this.

Remote control

Thanks to the good concept our devices are remotely controllable. Every station comprised of FlexRadio and Genius devices is remotely controllable in full capacity.
It is already an everyday occurrence that contests are being done remotely and with great success. Stability and reliability of the software is remarkable and operation from the LAN or WAN network is unnoticeable if the internet connection is stable.
