Smith Charts

ATU setting up seems to be a matter of suck-it-and-see, even on the part of the auto ATUs (which are made for for CBers-masquerading-as-radio-amateurs because _REAL_ radio amateurs have no qualms about twiddling knobs themselves) REAL radio amateurs know that the best place for an antenna tuner is at the base of the antenna, which makes "twiddling knobs" a bit difficult. I wonder if anyone takes a more scientifc approach by measurement and then calculation, such as by Smith Chartification? Such would require increased complexity in the hardware and software and also require periodic calibration. Ever heard of the KISS principal? -- Jim Pennino |
