 Hi Chuck,
    Mine worked correctly after I set the proper rig type to the specific rig port.    I have a K3 and F6700.     I also found several errors relate to programming and configuration. But....     Mine was SN# 0007 and shipped with an early manual,    which was corrected within weeks of my receipt and downloadable from their site.        Also, as a passive listener device, you have to train the antenna selections to the band data "one time".    From there on is follows the band data correctly (unless one decides to change it on the fly).
     I hope you get it going...

 I bought one of those, but so far I haven’t been able to get the band data switching to work with my Flex.

 Hi Gary,
    Earlier this year I bought the Hamplus AS-61WL, sold through DXE.
    My run from the shack to the top of the tower is LMR400 and close to 350' out and up.    As a basic 6 position switch with band data control it works well for me, so far no issues.        The other positive for me was the switch housing is powder coated metal, not a POLY or plastic.    My old RCS-4 and two other brands have used needed fiber-glassed repairs     in the plastics from hail damage.  We get several Texas hail storms per season.
    YMMV

 Rodents again found my control wire for my 
Ameritron RCS-8V coax switch. I was 
thinking this is the time to get a remote 
switch that can send the signal through 
the hardline and not worry about chipmunks 
or whatever. 

I have a 375' distance between the shack 
and the remote switch and need at least 5 
positions, more would be used. Ameritron 
sells one that does what I want except it 
has 4 positions. DXE has nothing except 
that one Ameritron, all the rest need 
control wires.

Anyone know of a coax switch that does 
what I am looking for?
