[TowerTalk] stack controller

[Tim Duffy]

Hi John and Steve:

DXE has the K3LR push button stack switches (designed by W3YQ) on the list
of things to build here, however we have lots of new products going at the
moment, so I don't know when we will get to it!

I really dislike rotatary switches too. I use MicroHAM Stacks Max with  
my Array Solution two and three Yagi StackMatches   
http://www.microham.com/contents/en-us/d84.html  They are easy to  
program and I believe readily available from W4TV.  DX Engineering may  
have a K3LR type switch with more buttons soon.

Hey guys,

After a recent lightning event I find that my 20M 3-high stack
controller got zapped. This is an IC based homebrew design that a friend
made for me in the 90's.

I'll be able to swap in the 10M controller as a temporary fix, but going
forward am wondering if there is an easy commercial replacement
available, maybe with a bit more flexibility (more relay outputs).

I currently need to be able to control 7 relays in 7 programmable
different combinations (all involving either 1, 5, or 6 of the relays to
be energized at a time, per the K3LR article from the 90's).

My current control boxes have 7 buttons each of which can direct access
the 7 relay combos. I much prefer this over any rotary control switch.

Anyway, I know this is a simple task for a little Arduino box and relay
controller - is there anything out there that is (almost) ready to go?

Thanks,

-Steve K8LX
