Wayne,

This guy had a display at the DX Convention in Visalia, Ca last year:

Looks like a nice concept for remote control of antenna switches
and the like, but I am not aware of anyone who is using his
products. Since it can be networked, it might offer some interesting
possibilities for remote control of antennas using 802.11 wireless
hardware.

Has anyone on the list had any experience with this product line?
