You are absolutely correct! It is totally the WRONG inductance values
needed. I have the specs for the 850 somewhere and I also have the needed
values for a tank coil in the 4-1000A. I could look it up and repost it or
if one wants to, they could look in the contesting.com archives for messages
by myself on that subject. I've posted all of them before.
The bottom line is the stock 850 is the wrong tank coil to use - just like
you said.
