61 material ferrite will give higher Q than -2 powdered iron at LF/MF. Nothing wrong with -2 powdered iron ... it's just 61 material ferrite offers superb Q. I wouldn't recommend any of the lower frequency powdered iron materials if you're looking for high Q.

Thanks Jay.
I am far from knowledgeable about these materials but that agrees with measured performance of several receive bandpass filters I built for LF/MF last winter. I tried several different ferrite materials and 61 performed best. However I have no idea how that would compare to the powdered iron T50-2 normally used in this circuit. In the long run I think I may order a couple more LPF kits and build one both ways for comparison. Who knows, I may learn something!
