Terrific!  Just in time...  My ICE bandpass filters do not represent an
exact 1:1 SWR on all bands.  Even with perfectly resonant antennas, my K2
chokes on the 1.8:1 SWR the filters have on some bands.  I was just about to
open the 419's up to begin the painstaking task of compressing/uncompressing
the coils.  Restuffing a few components is much faster.
