Hi,
I use a Kat500 with my K3 and KX3. However, I have a number of other radios which I would like to use with the Kat500. So I'm looking for a antenna switch that can change inputs in some way based on an electronic signal. The signal can be via serial device, or network doesn't matter. Anyone know of such a programmable switch?
Thanks, Tom
