No...not right. I use the ATU.DATA function every few weeks just to quickly detect abnormalities that may have developed on my fixed dipole at home (tree branches, ice, broken supports, damage by birds and squirrels, etc.) I compare the last stored ATU.DATA result to that produced after a new ATU tune. It's not necessary to convert the results to L, C, and n, but that would be very quick and easy if the appropriate information were supplied in the manual. For camping I use a home-made seven-band RESONANT dipole. (Resonance is set by links around six very small light-weight insulators in each leg.) It's gratifying when ATU.DATA for each band shows only small values of ATU L and C were required to produce the match. Large values of lossy ATU reactance are never good if avoidable. Thus, as an "end user" I find the ATU.DATA function to have significant value even without determining actual values of L and C. But philosophically, I find it careless whenever some function is described in any type of manual without the information necessary to fully interpret the results claimed in the manual. Correction of this deficiency costs only a tiny bit more ink in the manual. :-) Mike / KK5F -----Original Message----- Sent: Apr 7, 2022 2:30 AM It is unlikely that end users run the command directly to read out the capacity, right? ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net
