[Elecraft] [K1] Question about antenna tuners that I should not have to ask but do.

[Brian Hunt]

Another way to approach this problem is from the other end. I've had pretty good success using antenna simulation software, EZNEC, to estimate the feed point impedance of an antenna and then use TLW to simulate the rest of the chain to see what's going on. The key is to do as faithful simulation of the antenna as you can. 

EZNEC (a limited version) is on the ARRL Antenna Book CD.
