But the L-C-L also has the capacitor rotor to ground. Therefore, only one
adjustment. It has worked well for me using a 3CX800 on 6 meters.
Still trying to understand what network you are using.

Another reason I suspect is the C-L-C pi network allows both the variable
capacitor rotors to be at ground potential.  This lets the shaft be at
ground potential making for a safer control that is not affected by the
proximity of the human operator's hand. No insulated shaft required either!
