Another nice solution, especially for more complex stations, is the new Band Aide band decoder from Top Ten Devices. The optional K3 ACC cable provides clean integration or you can build your own. You can do "wire ORing" internally to let multiple bands select the same multi-band antenna. The box provides front panel LEDs for 160-6 band selection including 60 and WARC. It has a rotary switch that offers manual selection of an antenna other than the one normally selected for a band and five optional positions that leave the default selection active but also activate a separate output line that can drive an external relay to select among alternate antennas on a band. It's simple to use in basic stations and flexible to use in more complex situations. I have two in my SO2R station and like them very much.
