41. RE: Topband: measuring transformer core inductance (score: 1): Author: "Richard Karlquist" <richard@karlquist.com>; Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 08:22:27 -0800; The very popular Fair-Rite 43 is not immune from magnetization, as I have tested it. I suspect 73 is at least as bad. The issue comes up for me because I use DC in my system to switch relays. If the; /archives//html/Topband/2003-11/msg00118.html (8,664 bytes)

RE: Topband: measuring transformer core inductance (score: 1): Author: "Rick Karlquist" <richard@karlquist.com>; Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 11:19:35 -0800 (PST); This is referred to as a common mode choke. Differential (odd) mode current would not affect the core. Common (even) mode current would be able to affect the core if of sufficient magnitude.

They work as well as longer ones at my QTH. In any case, short beverages are better than no beverages.

The worst case mismatch you show is 10+j16. Even this 5:1 SWR only results in a 3 dB mismatch loss, still not much in the overall scheme of things.; /archives//html/Topband/2004-02/msg00135.html (8,191 bytes)
