I think that he best bang for the buck for an antenna switch is the RCS-8V  
Ameritron 5 position switch which uses a control box on 110 and sends a low  
voltage current up a remote line to the switch point on your  tower.    It is 
cheap (about $139) and works  well.    I use two of them and have for  years!    
 I use regular light weight rotor control  cable.   The switch grounds the 
antennas not in use when you select a  particular switch.   
 
 
The wireless Ameritron is just more lossey and I dont recommend it unless  
you can't run a cable.
 
Good luck!
