They are a type of oscillation transformer and the primaries and secondaries have to resonate at certain frequencies to be effective. The few books I could find about them weren't very descriptive, so if someone could give me a hint on how to get this thing going, I would be very grateful. -- Matt Giger tektronix!reed!shadow
