You didn't specify what transceiver you are using or what you are trying to
switch. If you have only one antenna per band, or a tribander and some low
band dipoles you can use a band decoder to switch to the proper antenna.
Top Ten makes a nice unit - http://www.qth.com/topten/ and with a compatible
transceiver you won't need a computer for it to operate. It senses the
frequency that you have your radio set to and automatically switches to the
correct antenna. It should also work with your Ameritron relays if you
purchase the source driver module.

Hello,
I am Wayne WD4LYV , and after medical problems for 5 years am getting back
on
the radio. I cannot reach with my arms to control my rotor and need a source
for an antenna switch that can be controlled by my computer logging software
through the parallel port.
I understand the ameritron switch can be but I would need the interface.
I await replys from my fellow amateur operators. You may read about me at
qrz.com under wd4lyv and see how I use my trackball to control my radio.
Wayne WD4LYV
