In the presentation I mentioned that the big parts houses probably have better prices for ferrite toroids than the well known ham suppliers like Palomar Engineers & Amidon Associates.
I did a little research for prices on a 2.4" OD Mix 31 toroid (Fair Rite part # 2631803802). This is the one you'd most likely want to use. I did the US$-CDN$ conversion on xe.com.
Vendor US$ CDN$
Palomar.com $10 $12.51
Amidon.com $10 $12.51
Newark.com $5.10 $6.38
Mouser.com $7.55 $9.45
DigiKey.com $8.31 $10.40
(MFJ doesn't list this item)
Canadian websites:
Newark.ca $7.09
Mouser.ca $10.42
DigiKey.ca $11.82
I was impressed by the US Newark price. I expected that I would get bounced to their Canadian website when I tried to order, but they actually processed the order. Can't go wrong at that price! I ordered 10, so if anyone wants one I'll sell it to you for my cost.
