Converting Vectronics HFT 1500 to L network?
 

Has anyone done this before? I am thinking of converting my HFT to an L
network. I started by isolating the roller inductor from ground and
re-wiring the caps in parallel across the inductor output to ground, but
can't seem to have much luck getting the revised network to tune very well.
Any ideas??

There are 4 different combinations of L and C that can be used in a L network.
You might have yours in the wrong configuration for the impedance you are
attempting to match.
