Its a purty chart, too.
I've got nothing but respect for folks that have the patience to sit down
and figure out how to use one of those.

It surprises me to read that you consider the Smith Chart difficult to
use. I'd bet that you could figure out how to use one to your benefit
within 20 minutes of asking questions of someone who uses them.

Jerry:

He may mean it in the sense of using a sliderule--why if you have a
program, programmable calculator to give results?

Warmest regards,

Jerry,
You're probably right. I could probably lean how in an afternoon.
I sat down with one I printed out once, and thought I had it figured out.
Then when I needed to use it again, I would need to be retrained.
I remember how to use an MFJ259 from use to use, though. :-)

I just don't have the patience - it just doesn't grab my attention like a
gizmo does.

So now you're pickin' on my slide rule? Is nothing sacred??
I like my slide rule. Its more useful than my solar-powered flashlight.
The slide rule works without any power or batteries. :-)
And its accurate to 3 (sometimes 4) significant digits.

I too am lazy... I think we found one thing we agree on... a beer in a
hammock with a programmable calculator is to be preferred to a table,
straightedge and smith chart... besides, I scribble on 'em.... frown

Scribbble on 'em??
That implies you have occasionally used the old-fashioned "pencil".
Lets narrow it down to the beer and hammock for now. ;-)
not partial to calculators, phones, or loud music.

I should point out, everyone should at least know about a smith and have
used it... kinda gives you a "feel" for the way all the variables work
together... it is a good thing...

Warmest regards,
John
