<When the amplifier is in standby, the SWR at the exciter in bypass mode is 
fine. So the only thing that leaves is the piece of coax between the relay and 
the input portion of the band switch. I plan to try a temporary replacement 
later this morning.

##  It still makes no sense.    The input SWR  on 40m is good...higher on 
20M..and sky high on all other bands.   If swr is good on 40M, and lousy on all 
other bands... and  since all the caps  have been replaced, that only leaves 
the slug tuned coils. 
IF the bandswitch for the tuned input is in sync  with the kw PI net 
bandswitch,  you should be able to see zero ohms between input coax on back of 
amp... IE:  coax center conductor....... and input side of input coupling 
cap...on each band,  with TR relay activated.   Input coupling cap  located 
between output of tuned input band switch..and cathode.
