More than one antenna per band using BIT cables
Options
Based on this:
https://community.flexradio.com/flexradio/topics/remote-antenna-switch?utm_source=notification&u...
It would be nice to enable user selection of Bit lines via dropdown or on the Maestro instead of tying them to a band or frequency range.
I'm thinking that the antenna selection could be configured as ANT1-A, ANT1-B, C, D etc and each one could trigger a different Bit line or could send a command to an ethernet or serial connected switch. This way one can have more than one antenna selectable per band via an external antenna switch.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Perhaps FRS will put this idea in their que.

Good Idea Miss Ria!!!1

Yes. I would like to see the BIT cable feature exposed in the interface so that I can override the automatic selection (which I use, most of the time) and manually select an antenna.
If I were writing the software, I would give serious consideration to extending this to the BCD interface as well. Provide a manual override that allows the user to select a "band" that would appear on a BCD cable and drive an antenna switch.
Best of both worlds. Thanks Ria.3 -
Yes, yes, and more yes!1
