?  Murphy said that things are more complicated than they look.  A 
pi-network is two L-networks in series.  At resonance, an L-network is a 
dead short.  Thus, L-networks are not oprated at resonance.  When my 
SB-220 is tuned for max output on 3820KHz, a dipmeter shows that the tank 
resonates several hundred KHz lower.  Pi-networks are not like parallel 
resonant tanks in days of yore.
