Chuck,

thanks for that information. I wonder if anybody knows if those 0.61" ID
would somehow fit LDF4-50A? I figured the next ones in ID are 0.75"!

And is it OK to use short toroids instead of beads for balun? Does it make
the balun any less efficient when threre are 20-30 toroids instead of 4-5
beads??
