As I build my second K2, I want to try to measure the inductance of the toroids with my MFJ-259. The MFJ manual has instructions on how to do this. Essentially one builds a series LC circuit and measures the resonant frequency and then calculates the inductance.
Has anyone tried this and have any tips or tricks to pass on? Am I correct in assuming I can adjust the value of inductance on a toroid slightly by compressing or expanding the spacing between turns? If so what can I use to hold the turns in place. Friction is probably good enough, but I wonder about a few drops of something like Q-Dope.
