I need nine bands. Fewer positions won't help with the RSC switch, since it is limited by rotor to contact breakdown instead of contact to contact breakdown. The switch is the toughest component to

The bean counters are the end-users. Most Hams have limited budgets. Most people wouldn't pay $300 more for the PA just to get the same voltage breakdown, although some would because the switch "loo

For 9 ham bands, do you have to have 9 switch positions? 5 PA positions can cover 1.8 to 30 MHz without too much variation in operating Q; admittedly, you need something clever to switch input circui

Six meters and WARC bands. The problems is with an inductor right off the tube, the inductor needs to be switched on 6,10,12,15, and 17. That keeps the Q reasonable without a vacuum cap. 73, Tom W8J

The rotor to contact breakdown sets the limit. You can increase the other parameters, but not that one. That's the problem in the SB-220, AL-80 series style switches, as well as the JV-9000 series.
