[TowerTalk] antenna switch control box?

[David Robbins K1TTT]

I am looking at the new mfj rcs-12c remote switch controller.  It is an 8
pushbutton box that controls up to 8 relays or bcd output, has built in band
decoding with programmable buttons, last antenna on band memory, hot switch
protection, amp key line lockout while switching, and probably a few other
things.... at $229 it is too expensive and has features I don't want/need.
Is there, or would any one want to build, something at about half that price
that just did the 8 pushbuttons with hot switch protection... no band
decoding, no memory, no bcd ouput.  I would want at least 6 or 7 of them.
