Nice! but with minor Quality Problems

This switch interfaces nicely with my Yaesu rigs. Change bands on your rig and this unit switches your antenna to your pre-programmed settings. Extremely easy to use. If you use rig control software, point and click and your rig and antenna choice are in sync.
Neat!
As for quality...the antenna relay control cable had two open leads... so antenna 4 and 8 wouldn't function. This defect was stumbled across because the manual doesn't contain a color code description of the cable. In order to determine color to antenna identification, I performed Voltmeter checks and saw that antenna 4 and 8 didn't get the required 12 volts. On the other hand, Ameritron was very responsive in replacing the cable...
Buy one...you'll like it! No more powering the rig into the wrong antenna!

I get used to station automation, and when a different switch I was using failed I began shopping for a replacement. This unit has just about everything I needed - 8 positions, reads band from the radio, and not too expensive.
