Someone recently asked me to measure the L & R for the Sov. Can't remember who, so I'm posting it here.
What I found is that only one coil (the TX I assume) can be measured. I could not get any other reasonable inductance reading, I'll guess that both the BBS & the WOT coils have RX preamps internal, that prevent direct access to the RX coil. The only way to measure the RX inductance is to split open a coil. I don't have a one that I consider a junker, so I'll leave that to someone else.
So, only the TX numbers are listed. I also threw in an 18" Explorer coil, which was measurable. Both the Exp & the Sov use the exact same transmit waveform, so I though that maybe the coils were the same, except for the connector. But they are quite different.
BBS 1000 10"
TX? (1,2): L=1.022mH R=26.6
WOT 15" (Sov)
TX? (1,2): L=1.042uH R=22.7
Excelerator E 18" (Explorer)
RX (1,2): L=653uH R=17 TX (3,4): L=366uH R=7.75
If anyone has a junker Sov coil they want to donate to me for cannibalism, I'll be glad to do the work.
