 G'evening. INDUCTANCE SYMBOLS.have I missed something? I seem to be a
smidgeon confused re symbols /prefixes for inductance.

I see a schematic in QST asks for a 10 mH rf choke and gives a part number.
I check the Mouser catalog and see the same part number is prefixed 10uH.

 SO.. is usage of this prefix interchangeable or are  'milli' and 'micro'
mistakes in cataloging and or schematic labeling ? ..

 This  example is  not the only one encountered  in the literature where
inductance is quoted in schematics/descriptions

Clarification  ?
