- Phil: I agree. Anyway, as I understand things, it's best to short the un-used turns out to prevent a high EMF on un-terminated taps and thus causing a flash-over or arc in the bandswitch. At the same

- Hi yall, I believe that a switch that shorts out the unused taps on the tank cct. is the best way to go. The shorted coil in the tank next to the used tank portion will create a field that forces mor

- To cover 80 through 10, you need roughly a 10 to one variation in inductance. However, the coil resistance stays the same, so the unloaded Q goes down at the 'low inductance' end - if everything else
