It should be possible by increasing L-supp, Steve.  The problem with the 
factory stock suppressors is that they are made from high Q silver-plated 
strap.  If L-supp is increased, to decrease VHF Q - and stop bandswitch 
arcing, the resistors (R-supp) are virtually certain to burn out on 10m.  
The bottom-line on using resistance-wire is that it reduces the 
dissipative burden on R-supp.
