Dwight,
Standard maggy operation is to tune the primary to the combined
freq of the secondary and resonator combined. The 140kHz you're
running at is the combined frequency. This is normal. There are many
myths "out there" about how a magnifier operates. By combined freq,
I mean that the secondary and resonator behave as if the inductances
of each are added together, for tuning purposes.
