Antenna Switch Control Consoles
DX Engineering CC-8A Deluxe Control Consoles
DX Engineering CC-8A Deluxe Control Consoles are flexible, 8-position controllers used to control the DX Engineering RR8 series Antenna Switches, 8 Circle Arrays, or any product that uses a 13.8V DC, 1-of-8 or BCD control format. They feature an attractive metal housing that is powder-coated and features an ON/OFF switch, ergonomic selector knob, and eight front-panel LEDs, with adjustable brightness, to indicate the switch position. Their rear-panel external plug allows the control cable to be easily unplugged during weather events or if the shack needs to be rearranged. We also suggest unplugging the control console leads when severe weather is expected. The use of a lightning protector on the control lines (DXE-IS-RCT) is prudent as well. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. DX Engineering CC-8A Deluxe Control Consoles are RoHS-compliant and the components, including the solder used, are all lead-free. Only use lead-free solder and lead-free soldering tools if internal servicing is required.

EA4TX RemoteBox Universal Antenna Switch Controllers
EA4TX RemoteBox Universal Antenna Switch Controllers are extremely versatile devices that provide automated control of remote antenna switches of many designs. Local and remote control antenna selections are supported with PC software via USB and with band data interfaced transceivers. Specific RemoteBox models are available to control several different remote antenna switch configurations. They work with one-of-eight DX Engineering DXE-RR8B-HP and DXE-RR8B-SD (1x8), the two-of-eight DXE-RR2X8B (2x8), several different brands of 1x6, 1x8, 2x6 and 2x8 as well as a specially configured RemoteBox to control a 4-element phased array, such as the Comtek Four Square. The EA4TX RemoteBox controller replaces the remote antenna switch manual controller and may be operated by free software and by band data interface cable. The specially produced EA4TX freeware Windows program is called RBM--RemoteBox Manager. It is provided on the included CD-ROM and is also available by download. It accommodates PC local or remote control and band data setup selections. The RemoteBox front panel LCD displays programmable antenna names and facilitates manual selections. Automatic antenna selections are programmed with the software. The RBM program can also read and analyze messages from Win-Test and N1MM networks, providing centralized control of SO2R and Multi-Two contest operations. The RemoteBox will not allow the selection of the same antenna on both radios of a two radio system. The EA4TX RemoteBox is not a simple antenna switch controller. Since it can be controlled by a computer, it is the perfect choice for Remote Antenna control. A user supplied micro-PC can interface for Internet control. In addition, with transceiver band data interface cables in place, the RemoteBox reads the selected band and automatically switches to the correct antenna. This type of simplified station automation eliminates the possibility of human errors. Band Data input is supported by user built cables; a single cable for 1x4, 1x6 and 1x8 models and two cables for 2x6 and 2×8 models. Connected transceivers automatically select the correct antenna by assigned band memory. Software selection of Yaesu or Elecraft BCD for any HF band, or ICOM voltage band data for major bands, is supported. The EA4TX RemoteBox Manager software zip file download is linked on the detail page. Click "More Detail" below for additional information about this innovative antenna switch control system. Bring new functionality and flexibility to your station with easily implemented automation and computer control of your remote antenna switches.
