Vic,
Yes, two relay boxes (actually I am using 4 in total - it may expand to
5 sometime).
The KRC2 can switch multiple relay boxes - switch both boxes for any one
band and then select between the relay boxes with the ANT1/2 selection.
In fact, with the KRC2 there are both positive active (external power
supply) and negative acting (grounded when active), so these outputs can
be combined logically by simply wiring them together - logical OR as
well as logical AND functions can be created. The KRC2 is truly a
versatile relay controller.

If you have 2 banks of antennas (1 bank tuned and the other presenting
50 ohms), the KRC2 can select the proper antennas for each band and
the ANT1/2 button selects between the 2 antennas for each band - If
you have more than 2 antennas on any band the KRC2 F4 button can be
used to turn on the AC1 thru AC3 lines which can be used in conjuction
with the normal band select outputs to select additional antennas - I
find it much more sensible and automatic than antenna switches.
I must be missing something. Let's say the KRC2 is operating a relay box
connected to port 1. Then it will select an antenna for each band (we'll
assume that these are the tuned antennas).
You can connect ONE other antenna to port 2. Unless you have two relay
boxes, which I guess is possible.
Were you thinking of something else? I have a KRC2 and a KAT100 and have
been thinking about the most effective way to use them.
