Title: B&W Miniductors for Antenna Tuner
Post by: n4joy on February 14, 2021, 09:41:23 AM
Hello!  I have two mint 10uh B&W Miniductors that I'd like to use for a homebrew balanced L network tuner.  What is the realistic power handling capabilities of these inductors?  B&W says 150 watts on their site, but this is vague.  I don't plan on exceeding 150 watts AM carrier and will be using an 80 meter dipole.

Should I go purchase some 1/8" copper tubing instead?  Figure I try these since they are in my junk box.
