Richard-



Ferrite cores used for rf chokes and broadband transformers tend to vary
substantially more in their mixes than do cores manufactured from powdered
iron. Thus, the inductance values of toroids wound with ferrite cores can
vary substantially. The inductance values are not so critical in circuits in
which they are used, so the bottom line is that you are in good shape.



It is worth noting that if you check the inductance on your own meter,
please realize that some of the values specified in the Elecraft manuals may
vary and that differences in individual inductance meters often increase
this variation. Elecraft recommends that individual builders do NOT try to
adjust their coils to the exact values shown in the manual.
