[AMPS] input switches

[carl seyersdahl]

On the sb200/201 and maybe others, the input bandswitch has a dual set of
contacts, one set of which shorts out all input coils except the one in use.
Is there any special reason for this, or would a 2 pole , 5 pos.
non-shorting switch be just as good?? this would simply leave the unused
coils open, instead of shorted. any comments from the masters??    carl /
