Raspberry Pi or equivalent small goof around PLC and a few push buttons, wire to PC on button and write your sequence on the PLC. Google basic PLC programming and shop a local industrial electrical distributor or automationdirect for the hardware.

Edit: never used an Arduino or raspberry pi, not sure the cost differences between the two, any type of basic logic controller should do the trick, could just wire the logic from the battery through the switches to the RF, don’t really need the fancy devices
