Hi guys,

I have some surplus axial inductors marked as follows:

uH27 -K
GEL

[clip]
Therefore 1/10th of the available voltage is across the inductor and 9/10
lost across the genny internal 50ohms.
So inductor looks like 5 ohms therefore,
[clip]

********.
Screwed myself by rushing for easy numbers

0.27uH is actually 8.5ohms at 5MHz

For the 10mv example L would actually be (10mV / (100mv-10mv)/50) =5.55
ohms, equiv' to 176nH.

Sorry!

Okay, thanks John (and others). I'll give this ingenious solution a
bash and see what turns out. Been struck by a virus on my main
computer so can't get net access as frequently as I would wish so may
have to report back 2morrow....
