Hi Angel.
Rohde&Schwarz did that in their amplifiers.
For instance in their model SK-1, which I own, they use two chockes of
75 and 90µH respectively while the latter is switchable between 90 and
30µH.
Both are series connected, on the lower frequencies the total is used,
on the higher 30µH are switched off.
The amp is autotune from 1,5-30MHz.
The 90µH choke measure 30µH when the ferritroad, 40mm diameter 90mm
long, is taken out
