Oracle Diversity Video Swtich

Got my Oracle Diversity switch in as well as a second 900MHz Rx (which I promptly removed the guts of and put inside the diversity switch hard wired to the power and the Video #2 inputs). Powered it up and hooked everything up (including my previous 2-ch Rx wired into video #1 input). It switches very nice, but I need to probably give it a real test run out in the wild. Just 5 to 20 feet away, it wasn't that interesting (had to remove antennas and stuff to try to block the signal from one or the other). Sure hopes it works as well as I expect it to! Will run my 3dbi omni and the 8dbi patch to see how it works.

Here are some pictures of the ground station with the 8dbi patch mounted on a pretty flimsy pvc pipe. The whole thing wiggles too much (needs a support down below to the neck. And it is a little bit of a PITA to break down very short for transport with the elevated patch. Need to cut the pipe and make it have a 1" coupler that easily just pulls apart. It is windy today, so, probably not going to get out and try it, but maybe tomorrow.
