I've written a pi and pi-L program using PHP and put out on the internet.
It's based on the calculations from the 1994 ARRL handbook.
http://www.pinebeetle.net/pi_calc.php and
http://www.pinebeetle.net/pi_l_calc.php . Very simple to use. Feel free to
use and let me know of any problems or additions that might be of use.

Regards,
Larry N5BIP

There is an Excel spreadsheet on my website, which does both Pi and Pi-L
output networks (but not input networks).

It can also include stray L and C, and a parasitic suppressor if you
wish; but you can set all those values to zero for cross-checking.
