I think I mentioned that my module is a SainSmart whose family of relay cards

A simple way to run scheduled events is via the Windows Scheduler. No

Hi Mark,
There looks to be good information in this PDF about remote antennas used
over the Internet:

there are some good vendors, products, & links m
Mark -
You can do this 2 ways that I can think of.
First is a board with relays and an interface to a PC. These are cheap (as low
as $15) and readily available. However, you'll need to wire up its terminals to
connectors suitable for your antennas. These can be found easily on Amazon and

Given the following criteria:
1. Two or more antennas
2. Spectrum recordings are set up for two or more times of the day
(sunrise and sunset, for example)
Are there antenna switches out there that can be switched
programmatically from my PC at certain times of the day?
The goal is to be abl

It allows batteries to be shipped if they are installed in equipment.

Unfortunately, Barry, although there were a couple of dozen carriers
