Stick with the switch that uses enclosed relays with higher impedance
coils. The "open frame" relays (even with a carbonate cover) with
low impedance coils (higher current) are more sensitive to corrosion
*and* resistance in control leads. The "open frame" relays *will*
become unreliable over a relatively short period of time.
The better switches use enclosed relays, and at least in one case,
cast, moisture resistant enclosures rather than bent sheet metal
that is susceptible to moisture intrusion.

I am considering getting either the Array Solutions RatPak or a DX
Engineering remote antenna switch. Any feedback on either of these,
positive or negative ?
thanks,
