[Amps] Roller Inductor specs

[Dennis Wade]

Thank you all for the replies.

I'm still curious what power level a 5 amp rated (as Karl suggests)
inductor would be appropriate to use in.  A simplistic I squared R
calculation yeilds over a KW at 50 ohms, but I don't know what impact
skin effect or circulating currents have.

I also found contradictory info on the BC-375.  One source says it a
600-800 watt input transmitter, but other sources suggest a much lower
power unit.  I'm inclined to believe its in the 100 watt class given
its appearance.
