Thanks Mike,
I had wondered about the triplexer route but as you say, 4m is a 
problem.  I would need to do a lot of research to build my own I think 
and even then it may not be satisfactory.  I will go with a switch for 
now but possibly RF relays are the way to go.
Many thanks to you and everyone for the reponses.
