I forced my MFJ analyser to work in the broadcast band by simply adding a
silver mica cap in parallel with the tuning cap.

Drew,
For BCB operation using a 100 ft wire for an antenna (hopefully you also
connect to some form of ground screen), I would expect the inductance in
Vic and Drew,
The ATU in the K3 is a low-pass L design which has a series inductance and
*either* an input (Ct) *or* output (Ca) shunting capacitance. There is only
one capacitance in this desigh, not two. The single capacitance is switched
between the input (Ct side - transceiver) or output
Ok, Chuck, thanks alot. That explains all. I was thinking it was a pi
with two capacitors.
So anyway, for BCB reception, the capacitor doesn't do much and you
would pretty much want to have maximum L, right?
