There is also the issue of patent infringement. Radio Electronics carried a contruction article many years ago ('80s) where the author used the PCB inductor method in the project (UHF TV Transmitter if I recall correctly). RE had to publish a notice some months later warning readers that using this project was infringing on a current patent. With luck the 17 year limit on that patenet has expired. The patent would also have details on computing the inductance I would think. R Werner Soekoe wrote: > > I made a slight mistake.
