[Elecraft] Relay boards for remote control?

[Andrew Faber]

Another source is http://www.j-works.com/index.php. They have a broad 
product line. I've used one of their devices (USB to 4 SPST relays) for 
years with my logging program CQPWIN, instead of using serial or parallel 
port outputs for various rig control functions (e.g., PTT, Radio switching, 
etc.).  Never had a problem.

There are others. I use a SERDO8R purchased from EasyDAQ.com. It has an
RS232 interface and eight DPDT relays on a PC104 stackable profile. Current
price is $81, which I think is a bit much, but it is a well-constructed
board and is supported by National Instruments LabVIEW drivers (which I why
I have it). For $97 you can order it with eight programmable digital inputs
or outputs that operate in parallel with the eight relays.

I think Denkovi has a broader range of products with more interfaces and
lower prices. If I needed another relay interface I would buy the Denkovi
USB Eight Channel Relay Board ForAutomation, currently selling for $41, but
I have no experience with them.
