<I really appreciated the Amp Supply tuned 
input I put in the 4-1000A amp I made back 
in the 90's. It was pure simplicity and 
worked so well. I put one in a SB-220 as 
well with the same wonderful results.

##  I believe the amp supply tuned input board used arco compression
caps for both C1 + C2..and a fixed torroid for the coil.    The arco  compression
caps were padded on 160m.  I think the biggest arco I have is aprx  1600 pf. 
They ranged from  200 pf up to aprx 1600 pf.  Arcos have a limited min-max range,
which is still ample for any tuned input.   Typ would be like 200-500 pf etc.  

##  It was ideal for folks with HB amps, and anything else.  Just tweak both caps
for flat swr, then repeat for each band.
