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

Is there any way for KRC2 to switch more than 1 antenna per band? Ignacy On Mon, May 21, 2012 at 7:39 AM, Robby.VY2SS [via Elecraft] ml-node+s365791n7556199...@n2.nabble.com wrote: I have been using the Elecraft KRC2 for remote switching for several years. It drives a MicroHAM 10 port

Yes, You can use the high side switching for one set of relays and the low side for another set. That gives you two. If you need more than 2, you will have to be more creative and add a few components external to the KRC2 - a little it of logic done with diodes and relay coils. 73, Don W3FPR

Yes! The KRC2 can be configured to enable any output terminal for any input band. In the severe case, you could turn all of them on for a band. My own KRC2 is set to drive a single band for 20, 15 and 10 meters to support my tribander, while a second output is enabled for 80 and 40 meters

I have a few switches and would like to automate band changes. There are two choices: 1. Ameritron RCS-12. About $320 with the relay box. Very simple but one needs to use tricks to use two relay boxes. 2. Microham Station Master. Much more elaborate but more complicated, relying on computer, and
