I use the Six Pak antenna switch and love it.  It has one problem, its sensitive to drive 
voltage for the relays, mine had to be adjusted by bending the spring mount for each 
relay.  It wanted 13.5 volts to pull in a relay, should be 10.5, or so, I forget the 
exact amount, according to Array solutions.  The fix is to bend the tab that the return 
spring is mounted to, adjusting the force needed to pull in.  
Once I got the spring tension correct it has worked flawlessly for several years in an 
SO2R setup.  
If you need more antenna inputs they now have an 8 input switch.
