Apparently it wasn't quite "easy enough" in one amplifier design. A

http://www.vcnet.com/measures/bandsw3.html
- Similar problems have been reported in the TenTec Centurion amplifier,
and Kenwood TL-922. For a photo of a toasted TL-922 bandswitch, see
"Parasitics Revisited" in the 9/90 and 10/90 issues of *QST*.
