[Elecraft] K3 ATU readout

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I've not tried it yet, but this program might do it:

The descriptions says:

"Occasionally it may be useful to deduce the value of the terminating
impedance of an L-match network when only the values of the coil (uH) 
and capacitor (pF) and the frequency are known. 

Program L_NETWK does exactly that."

Had the same idea: Using my K3's ATU settings to determine the impedance of
my antenna. The formula is easy. But besides L, CA or CT and the frequency,
it contains the TX output impedance, which probably differs from 50+j0 ohms.
Any opinions?
