I used to use rotary switches also but once I developed the coax switches for Hi-Z that have 80 dB of cross port isolation. I would never go back to using a switch or single relay with a typical cross channel isolation from their on/off ratio being only 40 dB or so. This is especially

Along the same lines: W7IY had a very nice article in September 2017 NCJ, where he shows how he uses an ESP8266 WiFi module (circa $2) to remotely switch 80M antenna tuner coils in and out as the rig QSY's around the 80M band segments. N1MM+ sends UDP packets containing band and frequency

After posting my video link about TX and RX direction switching, I have received some emails asking about how I switch my various transmit antennas. This morning I built another video that describes my frequency dependant switching system that uses the Station Master band decoder. What might be
