Hi to the list,

Hopefully some one will confirm what I think is the RFC's.
I'm currently building the 40m receiver (RF Board stage 2) I think I 
have identified the RFC's which are similar to resistors but thicker 
in their body shape with the leads axially.
Like resistors they are marked with various colour bands to mark 
their value with a 4 band to mark tolerance e.g. silver/gold. some of 
the bodies are tan, some are green. The photo and parts list says 
they should all be green. unfortunately I can't measure Inductance on 
my DMM. Is there any measurement on my DMM e.g. resistance that would 
indicate that these are the RFC's? I'm thinking would they have a 
typical resistance possibly a low one?
I also have one separate one which has a tan body , colour markings 
green red/brown green with a gold tolerance mark, similar to a 1/8 
watt resistor which I believe is the sub miniature one used on the 
underside of  the RF Board PC for the modification near C191.

Thanks in advance.
