Topband: T-200 vs. T-300

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

You may be right that Micrometals makes most of that stuff and sources
Amidon. But these are the individual company product numbers and you have
to use the company's own product numbers to order stuff from that given
company. You would need to take up Amidon's nomenclature choices with
Amidon.

Personally I am more annoyed that Amidon uses a different A sub L number
scheme than the rest of the world and has their own unique set of formulas.
 Anyone knows how that came about, that would be interesting to know.   73,
Guy.
