[Elecraft] The next generation KAT500

[Chuck MacCluer]

Actually there is a much simpler L-network search algorithm --- see my QEX
article,

"How to tune a L-network matchbox," Nov/Dec 2016.

No iterations are required. You need only to sample reflected as well as
forward minus reflected RF voltages on the line.

Alas, QEX failed to print page 2 of the article so chaos reigned. Moreover,
my approach only works without modification for high impedance loads. In
general, knowing the forward and reflected RF voltages is enough to match
without iteration.

I will be delighted to email the complete article and erratum upon request.
