W7WHY needs the switch.  In their 2010 catalog there are a whole set of RF 
switches for sale on page 72.  MFJ now has parts for amps that they use in 
their amps and tuners.
A local has bought some of the aprts for an amp he is building.  Some 
designed by W8JI and Rf chokes designed by George Badger, W6TC(just SK). 
Good stuff.  Bet these switches come from
the company near you.

I see Cisco in your e-mail address.  I used to work directly for John 
Chambers when he was with Wang in 1983-4.
