Well thanks for all the comments guys.. I think I'm going to just go with
the other option, more coax! I could then have a 2 position switch for each
band, one side horizontal, one side vertical, or one side loop, one side
beam, etc.. Or I could go with a multi position switch, even those would be
better then the remote relay's on V/U.
For $159.95 for that RCS-8V I could but a heck of a lot more coax, at $.69
per foot I could buy another 231 feet of coax anyway. Seven runs total
would be coming into the shack.
2m Loop
6m Loop
2m Beam (Horizontal)
70cm Beam (Horizontal)
6m Beam
2m/70cm Beam (Vertical)
2m/70cm DB Vertical
As for coax I am looking at using International 9096, its the same as 9913F
in specs, but a lot cheaper. Nice and flexible for going around the rotor
as well. Feel free to comment on the coax if you want. Yes, I know its an
air core cable, but I have 9913 that is air core and its been up for nearly
ten years of use and there isn't anything wrong with those runs yet. If
sealed properly the air core doesn't bother me.
