Well ... define "correctly." All simulation is an approximation of
reality. NEC-4 adds capabilities such as buried radial fields, and is
more faithful for tiny antennas than NEC-2. It treats lumped circuit
constants pretty much the same as NEC-2, however.
Last time I checked, a US non-commercial NEC-4 license was $300, IIRC.
You'd need the NEC-4 EZNEC UI too. Since the vast majority of
environment variables impacting antenna performance in the real world
are not part of any of the models, and we are "amateurs," I doubt you
would see any benefit from NEC-4.

My mistake... doh! I meant 4.
Increment version by 2... same question... Does NEC-4 handle the phase
shift through inductors correctly?
It's a big chunk of change to get the NEC-4 license and upgrade the
front end license... need to compile multiple reasons to justify it.
<wink>
Appreciate the catch...
