[Amps] Bandswitch arcing

[Eric Tyberghien]

Hi David

I think you are right the tune and load capacitors of the Pi-L are near
fully meshed.

I shall try to add some padding doorknob to see if it helps.

Eric,

	Have you considered an antenna tuner or modifying your antenna to
address the problematic load?
