Shack Automation with Microham Station Master

Following Requirements were the major issues I wanted to achieve for  my
antenna system automation

1.    Using 1 coax line to switch 3 antenna systems (vertical, tower1, tower2)

2.    Using 1 line to switch receiving antenna system (at least 3 beverage)

3.    Using band selection for selecting the right antenna

4.    Selecting receiving antennas (as a group) and choose single
Receiving antenna for best result

5.    Using only front-end software to configure all antenna switching
(no physical dependency)

6.    Using 12 v relays system

7.    Controlling power amplifier (Acom 2000) for protection improvement

8.    Using a software control center to make SDR Flex5000, DX4WIN, WINTEST, Tmate
 talking  together using virtual ports

Station Master from microham was able to cover all main requirements

•       Supporting a Software Defined Radio as  PowerSDR+Flex 5000 (requisite 8)

•       Configurable16 outputs (requisite 1,2), and  programmable pin out (requisite 10)

•       12v  Output volt selections available (requisite 6)

•       Band selection features or switching antennas (requisite 3 )

•       Specific Receive only antenna support (requisite 2)

•       USB Device Router Software (requisite 5, 8) that control station master
