Hello Pete:

Well, in my case it did.  First my C3d is not nearly that broad.  I am lucky to
have about 500 kHz bandwidth between 2:1 SWR points.  200 kHz where I was
concerned meant that I could not operate in the phone band at all..........I
don't operate much higher than 28.550 fortunately, or the C3 would be a real
problem for me.

73/Mike, N7ML
