Virgil- the KAM XL has a lot more to offer an individual user than the 
KPC-9612 and is well worth the extra $30. However,  the added value is for 
HF only. I've not played with one, but from the specs, it appears you could 
likely use the KAM XL in place of the KPC-9612 in my recommendations for 
your switch, but there is no HF involved in the switch.

Look here for the Paclink AGW downloads:
