They're widely used for broadband transformers, baluns, and EMI suppression chokes, and are in fact very often the best choice for those applications. If DC current is low enough to avoid saturation, they also make excellent RF chokes -- ones that maintain a high impedance over a very wide bandwidth and don't show any appreciable self resonant effect. The only RF application they're not good for is inductors in tuned or high-Q circuits, such as filters and tank circuits, or as tuned transformers. Roy Lewallen, W7EL Thats what I figured. I have kept them for this very purpose. mike |
