It seems like I remember a couple of you have the KK1L antenna switch
project.
AC0C has a good page about this switch. Down towards the bottom of his
page he describes how a simple mod will smooth the SWR curve for the
upper HF bands(at the expense of 6 meters, where the inductive reactance
of the mod is too high).
In summary, the mod is to add a small coil on the A and B ports to
cancel the capacitive reactance of the switch. Makes me wonder if I
should check the sixPak too.
Good info on the project - and I also noticed KK1L's parts list for the
project now specifies one of the P&B/Schrack relays I suggested as drop
in replacements for the Zettlers. The P&B DPDT relays might be the
better choice, both poles tied together give a slightly better current
rating, and the board is designed to tie them.
