All of these (Choke, RFC, L) are basically just coils. There is no positive or negative, there is no polarisation, they can be installed either way 'round and it shouldn't make any difference which way 'round you install them. I installed all of mine in the same orientation as resistors (which are again unpolarised) - so the bands can be read left-to-right, or top-to-bottom. Yes, the extra band (usually gold) is a tolerance, again exactly like the resistors. -- "Nosey" Nick Waterman, G7RZQ, K2 #5209. use Std::Disclaimer; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computer Science: solving today's problems tomorrow. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
