USB relay with tribander

Hey guys, has anyone found a simple way to configure a USB Relay PCB so that the same output can be used on multiple bands (80/40, 20/15/10, warc, etc...

Otherwise, I will have to use 2 16 relay PCBs to control a simple 2x6 remote switch...

    Hi Richard,

    I have used the SainSmart USB 8 board where there is one relay per band. What I did when it was driving a 4 port W2IHY antenna switch was to jumper the normally open of 10, 12, 15,17, and 20 meter relays together and feed that to the Antenna 1 relay of the W2IHY switch. That would select the 5 band Yagi.

    Same for 40 and 80 meter relays to have both bands select my 40/80 antenna.
