Hi, Dean
Well good luck in your hunt.
Over the years I've found many uses for various Fair-Rite cores at HF. If you
get the larger beads/tubes thatwill fit over RG-213 etc. you can make excellent
1:1 current baluns by slipping them over the cable before putting the connector
on. You can hold them in place with "wire-ties". The ferrite is completely
impervious to weather as far as I can tell.
I've also used Fair-Rite cores to construct the input matching transformer in
my home-brew 3-500Z amp and I've used smaller binocular cores to wind matchng
transformers for 160 receiving loops.
So, many applications for the cores - not just on Topband! :-)
Have a good afternoon!
Charlie, K4OTV

Hi Charlie:
Thanks for the infos.... and the good wishes. Im looking at the fair-rite
catalog and trying to come up with a good selection for experimentation when I
run into RFI problems.
Not sure how much of a ham market there really is, outside of the lowbanders. I
never hear anybody else complaining about it.
I guess the "buy bulk" advice is good.... for somebody, but certainly didnt
address my question.
73 and TU again

Good luck, Dean!!
I'm sure you can find what you need! (I've even thought about approaching
Kreger Components about establishing a small dealership to serve the amateur
community) I think that Jim's comments about buying box-sized lots to
minimize damage, have merit, though.
Good luck in your quest - I'm sure that you can find just what you need!
Best regards,

Hi Folks;
Thanks a bunch, to all those who responded with source possibilities for 31 mix
toroids ! I will add a note here, after I actually make a purchase to
designate the lucky victim of my small purchase.
