My candidate for best single bandswitch mod on the SB-220 is replacing the
knob with one that is different from the Tune and Load knobs.  The stock
arrangement looks nice but is an invitation to 3AM disasters.

I have flailed mine unmercifully in contests for 3 years, and the only
failure has been the T/R relay.  The cooling works very well, IMO.
