The screen is not dipped, Joe. It is peaked with the tank.

Because I know that bandswitching a 9-bander does not represent good
engineering practice. Furthermore, 28 - 29.7 MHz and 3.5 - 4.0 MHz need
two additional tuned circuits per band. How practical is an
11-position bandswitch?.

So is an 11-position bandswitch.

$4500 is no big deal, Joe. I know guys who have over $200k in their ham
stations.
