 I use a Ratpack from Array solutions.  Full power, select 1 of 6 antennas 
and it's been in use for here for about 5 years.

Subject: [SEDXC] Need Parts To Build A Remote Switch for Balanced Line Feeds


In order to increase my DX covereage so I can get to Asia, I'm putting up a 
second wire antenna: a doublet fed with balanced line.  I'm also converting 
my G5RV from coax feed to ballanced line to reduce the losses on the WARC 
bands (so it becomes a 102 ft doublet). Now I need to switch the lines to my 
tuner and would like to do it with a remote switch so there is only one line 
into the shack.  As near as I can tell, no one makes such a critter.  What 
recommendations do you have about the type of relays and where to get them? 
Power I run is typically QRP to 100w but I would like to have the capacity 
to run up to 1KW.
