I am thinking to build discrete circuits for a specific non-resonant antenna to operate on HF bands without a remote tuner. I managed to snag one of the last MFJ-948F Versa Tuner II left in stock. (But, that's an indoor tuner. I want the tuning done at the base on a non-resonant antenna.) On a nice day thinking to bring the new tuner right to the base, tune it up for a few frequencies within each band. How could a NanoVNA gather values set on the tuner? Seems so possible to use a few parts and do this outdoor tuning in advance and for increased power. Smith charts are used for this matching. But, I don't know how to read discrete values from the Smith Chart on my NanoVNA. I suppose I could also open up the tuner, use meters for the measurement and build the same. Whatever, I am sure that my NanoVNA will confirm whether the tuning is correctly after an individual network is made. Please lead me down an easy path? Maybe I just need to buy a book and learn this?
