Dave,
I don't know of any programme that will calculate the voltages and
currents - I just did it the "hard way" with Smith Chart and a pocket
calculator :)
If you simply want to see what sort of component values might be needed
to match a particular load impedance at a particular frequency, you can
learn a lot using W9CF's Tuner Simulator:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Steve/My%20Documents/Radio/ATU%20simulator/tuner.html
but it wont calculate the network voltages and currents for you.
