*Apologies for the poor audio quality - more info below*
This video shows how to use the SimSmith software program to design L matching networks for the same complex load shown in video #276. Here are links to download SimSmith, as well as to Larry W0QE's excellent YouTube site with SimSmith tutorials.

*Poor Audio Quality - yes, I know the SNR of the audio in this video is not great. This was my first video using a screen capture utility instead of my video camera. My PC mic isn't very good, and recorded very low volume. I had to boost the audio using Handbrake, and that boosted the noise too. Sorry about that. Will try to improved upon this for future videos using screen capture.
