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

Anything with a decent braid around the wire should work.? coax will work but controlled impedance isn't necessary.
Its a lot less work if you can find an enclosure that lets you mount the

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.

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.

All inductors I have tried with a lowish frequency tester and a GDO at working frequency have coincided with a reasonable accuracy.

Hello Lee,
This is very true, I am experimenting with a new power amp and also
a big LPF bank for it. If I measure with a Fluke LCR mter that's still
