Re: Extra coil

Hello All!

Thank you all for the comments about the extra coil. I was considering that
coil strictly from the
theoretical point of view, don`t have any experiences with coils like that,
only with 'regular' ones. But
I would like to know from all of you who had the practical experiences with
extra coils, what are the
diferences, comparing the three system with two system coil? Is there any
dieference, and is it really
irrelevant?

Regards,
Nele
