John,

There is only one commercially available "band decoder" that will
switch antennas *within* a band ... that's the microHAM Station
Master.  Any of the other switches decode the band based on a
BCD "band number" (e.g., Yaesu) or a stepped voltage (e.g., Icom).

Station Master uses the transceiver computer control interface to
query the operating frequency and make antenna/band decisions
based on the frequency.  More information - including the manual -
is available at: www.microHAM-USA.com/products.html.

Station Master easily provides automatic band segment switching for
antennas with relay segmentation - like many of the loaded yagis
for 80/75 and 40 meters or coil loaded/matched verticals ...

73,

    ... Joe, W4TV
