[Elecraft] Antenna Tuners

[Wayne Burdick]

Thanks for this useful reference, Bob.

Both the KAT2 and KAT100 (like other autotuners) have significant stray
reactances that are unique to their PCB layout, relay types, etc. So the results
obtained by looking at just the L-network components themselves may be
misleading, especially on the highest bands. Still, the answers should be in the
right ballpark.

The good news is that the tuners are very good at tuning out thier own strays.
