Topband: Ferrite Source

[Charlie Cunningham]

Good morning, Dean!

Glad you connected with the folks at Kreger Components! Because of my 20+ years of experience with them and Fair-Rite in my work (mostly 73 material) at Westinghouse, ABB and Elster Electricity, I knew that I could recommend them without any hesitation or reservation! Their service and responsiveness have always been just excellent!

I'm glad that you found what you needed and enjoyed their excellent service!

Have a good day!

P.S.  For some applications like transformers, baluns, common-mode chokes etc. -  you might consider 73 material - it also has its advantages at times.

Hi Folks 



A month or so ago, I inquired of the reflector , for a source for 31 material ferrite cores.  Many responded both on and off the reflector. I thank you all for your input.  You can be sure I checked out your suggestions. 



>From my point of view the very best suggestion was  Kreger Components 1360 Roanoke BLvd  Salem, VA  24153.  Or on the web at          www.  krege rcomponents.com   Phone is 540 389 6565.   I talked to "Sherry"  on my first contact. She is the inside sales manager.  I  found her to be easy to work with, and happy to be involved with a small lot purchase. What is small you ask?  Their webpage indicates a hundred dollar minimum.  My order was about 225 dollars. It was a combined order with another local ham. 



They have a very extensive stock and update their catalog every day, so you wont run into out of stock replies. Specifically?  The large type 31 core, we commonly know as FT240-31 is priced at $6.25 each in small lots. Thats the cheapest I found anywhere. 



 Communications were excellent. Shipping was ultra quick and very well packed.  It arrived today. 



Kreger Componets was first suggested by Charlie Cunningham . Several others followed on and confirmed their great reputation ..as Im doing .
