Topband: KM5KG network designer

2021-02-10 Thread Eric Scace K3NA
Grant KM5KG (SK) had a Windows program for impedance matching network design that provided current and voltage levels for each component in the system, based on the power passing through the network to the load, as well as many other useful features for reducing a theoretical design into a pr
