The switch is designed specially to be used for remote controlled systems, but can of course be used in other applications also. The switch can be controlled via an internal web interface. Together with Remoterig RRC-1258 it can be setup to automatically follow your band changes. The switch connects to the RRC over IP, no serial port is needed. It is powered with 12V DC. It is made for indoor use and can be wall mounted or placed on a desk/shelf. The switch is equipped with PTFE dielectric SO-239 or N-connectors.

There is no "best" antenna!
So you need several antennas!
That's why you need an antenna switch!
shoc is still looking for a commercial, reasonably priced VHF/UHF switch!!
We would be grateful for any information.
