In a tunable filter including first and second inductors, a varactor diode, and a bandswitching diode connected intermediate the inductors to select the inductor configuration for first and second tuning bands, a capacitor is connected in parallel with the bandswitching diode. When the bandswitching diode is in the high impedance "non-conducting" state, the capacitor is functionally connected with other elements of the tunable filter for purposes such as trapping or tracking. When the bandswitching diode is in the low impedance "non-conducting" state, the capacitance is functionally disconnected from the tunable circuit.
