Reactance Calculator

This free program was written in VB6 and should run on all windows platforms. Although called ” Reactance calculator” it actually does a few other thing as well! Its ideal when designing tuned circuits, and for quickly working out the number of turns required for filling a toroidal dust iron core.

  1. The Program works out the L and C values needed for a tuned circuit.
  2. Shows the reactance values at a specific frequency
  3. Can help design inductors using Amidon Dust Iron toroids.
  4. Calculates the inductance of a single layer Coil

This all makes building receivers and transmitters much easier.

Note: On Windows 10 you will get a warning whilst attempting to install this software which can be safely ignored.
