Can anyone share the manufacture of a high power remote antenna switch you are using and how you are interfacing ?
I am using a Anan 7000DLE.

Anyone using the 4o3a 8 x 1 antenna switch ?
Re: Remote Antenna Switch
I built this switch:
http://kk1l.com/kk1l_2x6switch/
I am running it via the PLC (progammable logic controller) feature of DDUtil.
I love it! And I've been finding more and more things for the PLC to do on my station. Every time there is something I want to turn on and off I assign a macro button in DDUtil to control another relay on my PLC. I even modified my radios so that I can remotely operate the bootloader switches.
Some photos here: http://wu2o.dyndns.org/station.html, alas no detailed description of constructing my switch or the PLC wiring, but perhaps entertaining nonetheless!

Re: Remote Antenna Switch
I am using a homebrew coax switch that is controlled by an ip controlled relay board. I will try to get some pics uploaded and more details.
