I really dislike rotatary switches too. I use MicroHAM Stacks Max with my Array Solution two and three Yagi StackMatches http://www.microham.com/contents/en-us/d84.html They are easy to program and I believe readily available from W4TV. DX Engineering may have a K3LR type switch with more buttons soon.

Hey guys,

After a recent lightning event I find that my 20M 3-high stack
controller got zapped. This is an IC based homebrew design that a friend
made for me in the 90's.

I'll be able to swap in the 10M controller as a temporary fix, but going
forward am wondering if there is an easy commercial replacement
available, maybe with a bit more flexibility (more relay outputs).

I currently need to be able to control 7 relays in 7 programmable
different combinations (all involving either 1, 5, or 6 of the relays to
be energized at a time, per the K3LR article from the 90's).

My current control boxes have 7 buttons each of which can direct access
the 7 relay combos. I much prefer this over any rotary control switch.

Anyway, I know this is a simple task for a little Arduino box and relay
controller - is there anything out there that is (almost) ready to go?

Thanks,

-Steve K8LX
