[ARC5] ARC-5 with Upper and Lower Sideband switch?

[k0ng at inebraska.com]

Tom:  I would simply set the BFO frequency "High" for one sideband, then
switch in a capacitor to "Lower" the BFO. Of course this means you would have to
retune the main dial a few KHz each time you switched but we used to do
this a lot in "the olden daze".
