[Elecraft] Questions on battery, pots, chargers, and paddles

I am working on a modification of Don's extra charging jack by replacing 
the SPST battery switch with a DPDT in the samf form factor.  The switch 
hooks the battery to the rig through the diode and resistor or to the 
charging jack through a fuse.  That provides direct access to the 
battery safely but protects the rig from that jack.  (I wish there were 
a center-off version of the switch so that the battery could be totaly 
disconnected even from the jack).

if anybody wants part numbers let me know.  I also have construction 
picture...I still need to find the best wire dressing from the switch to 
the charging jack (old transverter hole) without going under the KAT2, 
which seems undesirable to me because of the RF there.
