- I have quite a few miscellaneous toroid cores. Is there any way to determine what the mix is in them? I know, it's a silly question, but I get sillier the older I get. Thanks, 73, Tom K5IID Tom Horto

- Yes and no, Tom. You can wind a known number of turns on each toroid and then measure the inductance with an impedance analyzer like the MFJ-259B. From the physical dimensions of the toroid (cross se

- You can, with something like a network analyzer, get the R and X values and look through manufacturer's data and get an idea what type core you may actually have, but that sometimes isn't totally ac

- Well done, Ian; clear, concise, and useful. One sentence of your post particularly resonates with me (heh!): "In fact there are *no* exact equivalents between different manufacturers - they don't eve

- GOOD topic! I like Tom's approach myself; it's easy to do. Some of the folks I've worked with (and for) require more. And the impedance in a fixture is not a CERTAIN predictor of performance on a wir

- Thanks to all the guys for all the answers... Seems that for my purposes, it's a whole lot easier than I thought. 73 and thanks again. Tom K5IID I like Tom's approach myself; it's easy to do. Some of
