Hi Wolf
Hence my comment about considerable engineering required!

Hi Scott,

active components... Google 'gyrator'.

Ummm.. active components indeed .. I only know Gyrators in very old
narrow-band VLF receiver designs, only low signal handling capabilities.
Wouldn't these 'active components' be essentially a power amplifier
capable of driving highy reactive loads ?
If we had such an output driver, we wouldn't need a tuner... more or
less.
Or am I missing something ?
Cheers,
