[time-nuts] Noise and non-linear behaviour of ferrite transformers

[Ackermann, John R]

Tom, I'd forgotten about those tests (time flies!).  I strongly suspect 
that the bulk of the tempco is from the BPF rather than the 
transformers.  I've been recommending against install the filter unless 
its really needed, for this very reason.

I'll try to do some tempco measurements of one of my TADD-1 without the 
filter.
