Thought it felt a bit dubious,  but I hadn't got the core loss information
available so couldn't justify the feeling.   Anyway, isn't 2 mix - the red
coloured one -  the wrong material for this frequency ?  I thought that was
meant for the 2 - 20 MHz region.



I tried the -3 material which is the next material up from the -2 with slightly higher permeability. Even with fewer turns of larger diameter wire, the losses were 50% up on the T225-2.
