[AMPS] Relays instead of a bandswitch

[Norman Hockler]

Mike...  Dont see why this would not work.  You need the right 
relay.   Think you need to remove drive when switching.  The band switch 
problem and associated wiring is why I prefer a tank using a roller 
inductor.....you get rid of all the problems.
