It's designed for engineers who are looking for a wide variety of ferrite parts for a wide variety of uses. From where I sit, Fair-Rite has by far the best technical website I've ever seen, and nothing else I've seen in the last 30 years is close. Their published data is 100 times more detailed and informative than any of their competitors. A lot of what I know about ferrite materials I've learned by studying their published data. To get as much and as good data as theirs you've got to go back at least three decades to publications like the huge data books published by companies like National, Motorola, GE, Fairchild, and RCA for their semiconductors and tubes, and Electro-Voice for their microphones and loudspeakers. Historically, Fair-Rite has also very good about supplying engineering samples for those doing real design work. When I first began the studies that led to all of the work I've published, Fair-Rite provided me with hundreds of samples of several dozen parts I requested, never asking anything beyond the normal questions a regional rep would ask. It's paid off for them -- the #31 toroids EXIST because I asked for them, and thanks at least in part to the work I've published on using multi-turn chokes, the #31 material has replaced older materials for suppression at MF and HF. 73, Jim Brown K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
