Ah, the IRCA reprints.....A117, M8 and M26 all address this concern, James. http://geocities.com/amlogbook/newmembers/reprint.htm shows the list, and how to order, unless you already have the excellent reprint CD (also available from Lee Freshwater, address on the website), in which case, you already have them. I've found the switching works best if the antennas are low impedance, so random wires should be fed via a matching transformer and coax, if that isn't already being done. best wishes, Nick **************************************************************************** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, B.C.
