[Amps] QRO HF2000 tank coil Q question

[Peter Voelpel]

I used stacks of T225-2 for a mobile antenna loading coil on 40m.
Measured Q was around 400.
Toroid coils with taps, which no good idea anyway, will have much lower Q.
As part of a pi network for 160m in the 2KW out class only T400 was not
getting too hot, stacks of T300 still overheated in RTTY.

Wondering if anyone can provide the specs on the low band tank coil for a
QRO HF2000.

It appears to be a stack of two red-mix T225A-2 iron powder toroids, with a
total of 25 turns, and taps for 40M at the 7th turn, and for 80M at the 13th
turn.

Also wondering if anyone else notices how hot it gets on 160m.
