Once again the component marking question. Some little dipped inductors marked "8R2K" Is it possible to tell the inductance from that? Or any other properties? Photo:

Probably 8.2 microhenries
Thanks. Does the 'R' or the 'K' mean anything?
The "R" is the decimal point:
8R2 = 8,2 R82 = 0.82Resistors quoted in ohms, inductors in microhenries, capacitors in picofarads
The "K" is tolerance;
F - +/-1% G = +/-2% J = +/-5% K = +/-10% M = +/-20%
Pretty standard component marking these days.
Watch out for things like "R82K". At a first glance you think "82K ohms". It's not, it's 0.82 ohms, 10%
