A look at the possible advantages of using an auto transformer vs a conventional transformer for RF designs.

Long form is my preference. Fills in a lot of blanks about autotransformers used in RF. Many thanks, De K4WRF

Excellent. Been loving on EZnec and Simsmith for a while now - but never explored these features.

Another good one, Larry. I enjoyed the addition about using the RUSE Block.

Very interesting Larry, every video that comes out reveals a little more of simsmiths capabilitys, where will we be in 2-3 years - then we just tell simsmith what we need to have, and it will present the solutions automaticly, with all parameters optimized for loss etc.. LOL, where did my schoolyears go haha.. Thanks again for a nice simsmith tutorial 73´s / Anders

good job Mr. W0QE ! :) I am waiting to next video .

[@royshashibrock3990]

Glad that you found the video to be useful. Larry

Good stuff Thanks

Wow, this is cool! This sort of information is VERY difficult to find if you don't know about ol' W0QE! :-) Now I'm wondering how to measure the coupling coefficient of a physical autotransformer . . .

[@w0qe]

I'm almost done on a video about 3 different ways to measure coefficient of coupling. You must be psychic! :)

[@PixelSchnitzel]

@@w0qe I must be double-psychic because as I wrote that, I was wondering if you were already ahead of me. LOL! I can't thank you enough for your gracious service to the hobby!
