True it's not automatic or remotely switched, but it is multi-band with 
manual, physical switching.

The Sigma5 is 20-17-15-12-10M with relay control to change bands.
A friend of mine used a couple of these on his last trip to the Pacific and 
said they performed great.
Not bad for $349 and very portable.
