Hi You can spend *way* to much time analyzing these gizmos. The simple approach is (almost) always better: 1) How much room do I have? 2) How high can I get it? 3) What sort of coil form is available cheap? 4) How much inductance is in a few turns? 5) What frequency(s) am I interested in? Simp

It seems like the 65256 is the better one to pick then -- newest datecode (at least in the photos), and I can actually find pinouts for it. The 34310 C1s have apparently been scalped from old Thunderbolts and carry 2002 datecodes. The 49423 on sale is apparently 2005-dated, but I can't find a
