diy IF transformers: first attempt.

[Amie]

Good explanation but unfortuantely the probe tip capacitance doesn't directly scale with attenuation.....

That would explain the tuning problem even better if the case.

....The capacitance at the tip of a x1 probe is often about 100pF, again mainly due to the cable. For almost all purposes x1 (and switchable x1/x10) probes should be banned. Nasty things that will mislead those who don't understand..

I think I may have possibly just proven that point Jeffrey!

Thanks,
Amie.
