No. It only has the T network configuration. Nothing else.

The T network is reversable, which it has to be if one leg of the T is a 
fixed cap and you want any range.

Exactly what is the entire antenna and feed system are you trying to 
feed????

How are you tuning the tuner? Are you starting with maximum possible 
capacitance, and going from that point first by changing only the inductor?
