[Elecraft] Automatic tuner implementation

[Don Wilhelm]

Chuck,

I believe that is quite possible, but requires a more sophisticated 
measurement of the transmission line parameters that the Forward power 
and reverse power provided by a wattmeter.

Measure the parameters of the transmission line and calculate the 
network needed to bring those parameters to a 50 ohm non-reactive load.

It took a great deal of time to do the math when I was in college, but 
we did not have computers back in the early 1960s.
The principle is the same.

73,
Don W3FPR
