Scott, a passive filter is very dependant on the load impedance on both ends
of the circuit.  Not sure 600 ohms is a good design impedance for some of
these ham radios anymore but just changing the input capacitor size is
sometimes more than enough using the input as the 'R' component.
Substitution boxes work wonders for quick determinations
with such a small frequency span!
