Re: [TCML] Filter Choice

Hi Scott,
 
The nasty spikes tend to occur at the operating frequency of your coil; and  
yes, they are random. To a 5 usec event, even 5 seconds is a very long  run 
time. For initial tuning, setting your gap and safety gap very  conservatively, 
will probably save your bacon, if you absolutely  cannot wait to finish a 
Terry filter first.

I  understand.  Looks like I need to start gathering parts for the  Terry
Filter.  Taken from what I have seen on ebay, and prices of the  components
on digikey.com, this may be around $50.  Sound right?   Anyway, for the
purposes of initial tuning, would it be safe to run the  coil for quick 5 sec
intervals to tune it in the meantime?  Does the  interference/kick back build
up as you run it, or appear at "random".   Thanks for responses so  far.
