Hello Larry,

You should have no difficulty tuning the pass, just observe HIGH and LOW
freq inputs.  If the series band reject capacitors do not have the range
you need,

1 - If inserting the polystyrene rod does not quite reach your notch point,
and the rod bottoms out, then get a long drill bit and drill the
polystyrene rod a little deeper so you can insert it further.  This
(believe it or not) adds capacitance.  Also I have added a little length by
soldering a small length of #10 or #12 copper wire to the existing rod.

2 - If removing the polystyrene rod approaches but does not reach your
notch, then cut about 1/2" off the center conductor rod and try again.  

Also, in a pinch, detuning the pass will move the reject.  I have slightly
detuned in order to move the reject.

I had the luxury of being 30 miles from Waco Communications shop and
working with Kit and Lloyd for several years.  Also John Elliot still has a
duplexer tuning business in Waco.
