[Elecraft] C-L vs L-C?

Hi all, The K3, KX3 and KAT500 tuners use an L-C network with a series L and a parallel C. It can be configured with the shunt C on the transmitter side or the antenna side. I can write the transfer functions for both of these configurations (both being low pass, as pointed out by K9YC), one

Fred, Yes, it has everything to do with the impedance range to be matched. In general, if the impedance is less than 50 ohms, the capacitor will be on the TX side, but if th eimpedance is greater than 50 ohms, it will be on the feedline side. Look at the equations and conditions for an
