LA2NI's OpenHPSDR 4 ways HF relay board (Kicad Version)
OpenHPSDR P.A. Antenna switch board by LA2NI (Munin 400/Aries system)
This relay board is part of a set consisting of a 400 W LDMos based RF power amplifier (Munin 400), a medium power (600 or 1500 W) Zolotarev low pass filter, an Automatic Antenna Tuner (ATU) nickname « Aries » and a 4 port antenna switch (this project).
All these developments are the work and intellectual property of Kjell Karlsen LA2NI and Laurence Barker G8NJJ.

The Antenna switch board ensures the switching between 4 antennas under the control of the Aries ATU board. Each of the connected antennas have a profile stored in the memory of the Aries MCU module. This way, switching from an antenna to the other don't need a new tuning solution if the couple "frequency/antenna" has already been defined.
For more information, please refer to the Aries documentation (in the G8NJJ github repository)
