Even measuring the load impedance wont immediately tell you what are the
best settings, for a couple of reasons:
1) The HiZ / LoZ labelling is a misnomer for an L-network tuner; for
example, for a load of 10+j20 Ohms you would need the HiZ setting.
2) On the HiZ1 and LoZ1 settings, the 238 is not a simple L-match;
compensating components are switched in to overcome the strays and the
network becomes either a low-pass T-network or a low-pass Pi-network.

I wonder if there is a simple way to use my RigExperts AA-230 antenna
analyzer to determine if the antenna has high or low impedance so it
would be easier to determine, in advance, which High-z or Low-z
setting to start out with or to confirm my selection and best guess as
to which works best ?
