[Amps] [Fwd: Source for large purchase of toroids?

[chas]

this is great info which I really appreciate, Jim
Mouser is probably the closest to my QTH and this url
http://tinyurl.com/yd94aws

shows F-Rite's part numbers for HF or mix 31 toroids.
I have not detailed read that first table to see if they are beads or snap 
togethers only but hopefully, they make large donuts  for 3 to 5 pass chokes 
or whatever they are called.  (I am afraid I will never pass my Extra at my 
advanced age <G> as I cannot remember the difference between a watt and a 
volt much less any other of those arcane things like Z and Q and C and so 
on.)  But I sure enjoy working with my Army MARS fellows here in Texas. 
Although, that TNC thing is giving me a fit... hi hi

Thanks again Jim.  and every one else for their efforts to enlighten me.

They are not "different codes." they are VERY DIFFERENT MATERIALS, have
VERY different properties, and used for different purposes. Micrometals
makes powered iron, which are primarily used for inductors. Fair-Rite
makes ferrites, which are used as inductors, transformers, and
suppressors.

Fair-Rite #43 is a pretty generic VHF suppressor material, and several
other companies make equivalents. Fair-Rite #31 is a new mix they
developed about 10 years ago, and as far as I know, hasn't yet been
copied.

See their website.

It is CRAZY to go to all this trouble to try to find "generic
equivalents" to Fair-Rite parts simply because Amidcon and Palomar are
raping us with their prices. Instead, simply go to industrial
distributors of Fair-Rite parts and buy them at the right prices, not
Amidon or Palomar's inflated prices.
