Yes George did dig up that manual, I'm going to pick up a used CC-8 antenna switch box that will do the trick. Must have thrown out 4 or 5 printer/rs232 switch boxes before I became a hoarder :)

The controller is trivial; look at the manual still available on the DXEngineering site. You could probably hardwire it in an old printer switch box. Anything that has a rotary switch inside a housing.

    There seems to be no controller board available, just the pre-amp,
    switching and phasing boards. Did I miss something?

        RX-amps, you will get 10 pieces for 20 euro.
        Switch-board you will get 5 pieces for 20 euro.
        Phase board you will get 5 pieces for 20 euro.

    If your putting an order together, count me to split up.
