[CQ-Contest] results auto sw bandpass filters for all bands

[Mark Ketchell]

Hi Charly,
      From the two BPFs in my example, you could follow with a simple 
remote A/B switch (Dow-key, etc.). The "A" side from the regular 
bands is normally connected. When a warc band is selected, a diode 
matrix added inside the band decoder could output a  voltage to 
switch the A/B to the "B" side. The common of the A/B goes to one 
input of your SPE. Duplicate for the other radio.

      Unfortunately, this is now many more pieces than your original 
request for a single box. Before I lead you too far down this path, 
you may want to check out the book, "Managing Interstation 
Interference" by George, W2VJN, available from Inrad(.net). May help 
you decide what is most logical for you. Good luck.

73,
Mark, K5ER
