I've been real happy with the MH Station Master. It's go enough outputs to control bandpass filters for SO2R as well as doing the normal antenna selection duties. You can select more than one output for a given selection so you can do binary encoding to your relays and save on wires if you need to. It also allows you do reconfigure on the fly rather than making up new diode matrixes like I used to do. A bit of a learning curve, but then again what doesn't have one anymore?
I control a dunestar 600 and a combination of dowkey transfer relays and a couple of ameritron RCS8s with mine.

I have been using the Elecraft KRC2 for remote switching for several years. It drives a MicroHAM 10 port switch. The switch is well made in a heavy casting and can be used in the shack or on your tower. I have never had the slightest problem with it. I built the KRC2 as a kit (easy) and the only problem came after a minor lightning event which prevented me from communicating with the KRC2 proccessor to upgrade the S/W. Elecraft responded immediately with a new chip with the latest software already installed. The cable interface with the switch box allows one or more bands to use a single antenna. I am an avid contester and it is great to have one less thing to remember on a band change. 73, -Robby VY2SS -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/RCS-12-or-Station-Master-for-K3-tp7556171p7556199.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
