As I hope and am reasonably sure the situation is like this:
Connecting them in series gives you a centre tap to which you can or won't be connecting phantom by what was it, a 3k4 ? Ratio will then be 1:N.
By connecting them in parallel the ratio will be 1/2:N, so 1:2N (and the impedance-ratio will scale fourfold).
As I understand bifilar, it's just that two windings are wound at once, so they're kind of twins i.s.o. one after the other (with 9 months delay :wink: ). For the principal functioning of the TX it won't matter I figure.

Hi Peter,
Is having a bifilar twin primary the same as having a split primary?
I asked what would happen when paralleling a split primary (because I thought it would halve the ratio) but this is what CJ said:
[quote author="CJ The Transformer Murderer"]Imagine if you used 100 strand litz wire to wind a primary. How many turns do you have if you wrap the litz wire around the core one time?
1 turn. Even though that turn consists of 100 individual strands of wire.
So if you parallel a primary, you are just doubling the strands in your wire, not doubling the turns.
So the ratio stays the same. [/quote]
So, will the ratio not just be the same if you parallel these bifilar primaries? The turns number on the primary would just be the same, no?
Of course, it is easy to double the ratio with the twin primary...
P.S, Peter, those puns are getting worse and worse....

Please let us know how they turn(...) out ! [/quote]
