Your missing the point as usual Bill in your ongoing attempts to provoke
arguments.
First there is no such thing as a Palomar toroid and they cant even copy the
data properly, maybe you should write a long letter of complaint. Their
powdered iron toroid offerings are made by Micrometals.
Secondly I believe I fully explained why a 6 mix (or any toroid) application
is wire size dependent. If youre able to follow the math it should be
obvious. The 6 mix works very well in a 6M input circuit, only 4-6 turns are
required on a T-80 form. At a quick glance the published specs would
indicate a 10 mix is better, however its temperature stability is poor and
drifts considerably at 100-200W of RF.
There are many things the catatalog sheets do not fully explain, it requires
a bit of amp building experience.
