Dual Antenna Switch
High-Efficiency RF Switching for Repeater and Base Station Operations
The Icom IASANTSW2 is a professional-grade dual antenna switch engineered for Icom digital repeaters and base stations. This specialized RF component allows a repeater to operate using a single antenna without the need for a traditional, bulky duplexer. By automatically switching the signal path between transmit (TX) and receive (RX) modes, the Icom IASANTSW2 simplifies system architecture while maintaining signal integrity for mission-critical communications.
Designed specifically for the FR5300 and FR6300 series, this switch is the ideal solution for installations where rack space is limited or where a cost-effective alternative to a tuned duplexer is required. The Icom IASANTSW2 provides rapid, reliable switching to ensure that the receiver is protected during transmission while maximizing sensitivity during standby, making it a vital accessory for both temporary deployments and permanent base station hubs.
Key Features & Benefits
- Single Antenna Operation: Eliminates the requirement for an external duplexer, allowing the repeater to utilize a single antenna for both TX and RX.
- Automatic RF Switching: Seamlessly transitions between transmit and receive paths based on the radio's operation, ensuring low-latency communication.
- Compact Integration: Perfect for space-constrained environments where a standard cavity duplexer cannot be accommodated.
- Reduced System Complexity: Simplifies the RF signal path and reduces the number of interconnecting cables and potential points of failure.
- OEM Reliability: Genuine Icom accessory designed to meet the exact electrical specifications and timing requirements of the FR-series repeaters.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this switch provide the same performance as a duplexer? While it allows single-antenna use, this switch operates in a "switched" mode. Unlike a duplexer, it does not allow for simultaneous transmit and receive (full duplex) on a single antenna; it is intended for automated simplex-style repeater operation.
- Is it difficult to install? The Icom IASANTSW2 is designed for straightforward integration with the FR5300/6300 series, typically connecting directly to the radio's internal control logic.
- Can this be used with other repeater brands? This switch is specifically optimized for the timing and voltage requirements of Icom digital hardware and is not recommended for non-Icom systems.
Warranty
1-year manufacturer's warranty.
