I developed a digital tuner for coils.  I will email you a copy off list.
It uses only 8 parts and is very easy to build. Accurately tunes both small
and large coil by adjusting the distance of antenna to coil.

JavaTC will get you close, use the TCT device to verify, then fine-tune.


I am probably going to be the sole voice is dissent on this, but although I
did build the Terry Tuner at one time and found it to work exactly as
expected, I consider that step to be redundant.

Instead, I use the expected tap setting as generated by design equatijons
(such as those resulting from using Bart's JavaTC), and then do low power
testing to fine tune the initial tap setting.

The tuner is pretty cool, and very ingenious in it's construction, but I
just don't see a need for it given a ballpark idea of where the tap will go,
and then progressing with low-power tuning.
