[net.ham-radio] Inductors

pedz@smu.UUCP (10/02/84)

I ams, and  trying to put together a few things on my own and keep running up
again the problem of inductors (and transformers) not being as availiable
as R's and C's.  What do most people do to cope with this problem.  I
assume that you wind your own but there are many things required to do
this.  Cores, wire, and slugs are to name a few.  Not to mention some
sort of charts which tell you which core, wire, and windings to use to
get the size that you want.  (I know that straight physics of the problem
would result in a very poor approximation to this problem).  Is there
a kit sold by someone which has all the goodies needed to build your
own inductors with reasonable accuracy?  Are there other solutions to the
problem?

I would prefer that you mail your responses directly to me and I will
post a summary if requested.
