507.7? Says who?

Me and two of my friends, Mr Hewlett and Mr Packard.

Thanks very much, Owen. I used the Smith chart to get 85, 130,
and 500 above. That's about as good an accuracy as I ever need.
Also MicroSmith says the impedance value is j507.2 ohms.


I am surprised that Microsmith has accumulated so much error (~0.1%)
after so few operations.
