Re: Toroid winding numbers and measurements
The "frequency makes a difference" part of measuring inductance of any coil is the distributed capacitance factor. This apparent difference in measured inductance can be used to calculate the amount

Re: Toroid winding numbers and measurements
All: Note that the only thing that will change inductance on a toroid winding is THE NUMBER OF TURNS. Pushing the turns together or apart seems to change it a little, but all one is really doing is

Re: Power output on 20 meters.
If it's any help, with my 30m version I was only getting about 1W out, with the power rising slowly to around 1.2W on a prolonged key down. I replaced the blue inner caps (they measured about 30pF

Re: Toroid winding numbers and measurements
Peter So do iron dust cored inductors include a frequency term? If so just how much difference? My tests on air and ferrite cored coils have been with this

Re: Toroid winding numbers and measurements
Does this "fact" only apply for iron dust cored inductors because the equations for the inductance of air cored coils do not include a frequency term. PeterO G0DZB

Re: Toroid winding numbers and measurements
Its important to test your inductors against known standards (inductor of a known inductance). Just reading your LC meter and believing it can be very deceiving. Dr. William J. Schmidt - K9HZ J68HZ

An inductor tested at Lee, Have you any examples of this? All inductors I have tried with a lowish frequency tester and a GDO at working frequency have coincided with a reasonable accuracy. 73
