Need ideas for a remote coax switch

I'm planning a project for 2m antennas and have decided that I need a remote coax switch so I only have to deal with one feedline. There will be a need for a switch for 3 antennas, so a 4 port switch would be fine.

I've seen the Ameritron 4 port remote switch and the DX Engineering 8 port switch. Are there any others out there that I can look at? The remote switch box will be outside, so it needs to be able to withstand the weather.
 

The Ameritron 4 position remote antenna switch is the only one I've any experience with. I've had it for quite a few years and it's still working. I've never had any problems with it (other than getting the @#$ antennas mixed up).

    Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Is 30 ohms worth worrying about in a 100’ run of rg8u ?
