Pete, your suggestion sounds as it would need as much effort as to use one v8.3! The frequencies could be selected by a panel mounted 16 way binary switch. Switching the bandpass filters has been discussed recently. My feeling is that this may be done with almost any suitable (4 way 5pole?) switch as at HF lead lengths are not going to be critical. I think as v8.3 is developed more frequency options will be available and possibly someone will come up with a neat switch arrangement. 73 Alan G4ZFQ
