Hi Rick
Doesn't it take a lot more 'tuning stuff' to make lumped elements than it
does to make stubs? All I have here in the way of test equipment is an MFJ
259B analyzer and a VOM :-) Works good for making stubs.
I remember when I made some mark/space filters for some TU's that I built
some years back, I needed a signal generator, o'scope, and a frequency
counter. All that stuff is gone now. 73
