[Amps] Tuned Input for G-G 50Mhz amp

[Carl]

Ive used the T on a few conversions such as when I drove a low impedance 
such as a 3 hole Alpha 76. The Pi is more forgiving when going from Eimac to 
Chinese 3-500's as an example

I also use a T on the 2M 3CX1000A7 and 222 8877 as the operating range is so 
small its a set and forget and I wanted a high Q for selectivity to keep the 
unwanted transverter products way down.

I believe Swan/Cubic in the 1500Z model amp used a "T" input network vs
a "pi". Not too many of these were made and are somewhat rare on the
used market. I had one for a short time about 15 years ago. Built like a
tank. Input vswr to the solid state rig was very flat.

Hi Carl,
Thanks.
I thought a "Tee" would be easy to tune outside the amp in real time
(one
cap), and would basically achieve the same result as the "Pi".
Someone elsewhere mentioned better harmonic treatment with the Pi, but I

can't relate to that as I have limited knowledge.
