That's the way I see it. Taking out C 18, 300 pf fixed requires adding
that back with the variable loading capacitor. The cap labels are to the
left of the part. And with the variable having only 500 pf, adding in
300pf requires turning it about .6 x 180 or 108 degrees. If the input
SWR changes it hints at a bad switch contact or a PC board problem on
the input filter board that connects the two switch contacts.

I'm probably missing something but it appears to me the only difference
between the 75 and the 80 meter switched components is at bandswitch S1B
where C19 (150 mF ) is switched out in the 75m position. Due to the jumpers
between 80 and 75 positions in S1A and S1C (Figure 5-1) values of
capacitance and inductance would not be changed in those sections between 80
and 75 nor would those of the low pass filter board. Or am I not reading the
band switch correctly? If not please explain my error in logic.
