Thanks for providing measurement data. Comparing for example to  
information from Multi-Tech Industries
(as found on http://www.multi-tech-industries.com/ - thanks, Will !)  
I seem to need at least a model 90 switch ...

As indicated in another post there isn't enough data for making  
choices/recommendations for selecting a particular switch. Now, of  
course, my question is what that info might be you'd base a decision  
for a band switch on?
