I am looking to build a low-pass receive-only filter to add to an active antenna, to operate below about 250kHz. Can anyone tell me if the axial resistor-type inductors are suitable for this type of application please? Many thanks, Martin

The inductors have limited Q, but it should be sufficient for a low-pass filter.

I have seen folks use toroids for that work when they wanted passive solution. For LF work active filters generally preferred. I have seen gyrator based circuits used.
