Mouser unit cost is also quite high. I joined forces with a local ham friend and we purchased our mix 31 toroids and the biggest clamp on at Lodestone Pacific http://www.lodestonepacific.com/ You might see if you can get some friends to go in with you and save some money. We purchased in quantities of 20 each and they were quite happy to deal with us, fast and courteous. I don't know if we had requested a smaller quantity if they would be so willing. They are a distributor not a retail house. You have to know exactly what you want so know the Fair-Rite catalog number. The Fair-Rite catalog is on the Lodestone Pacific site. The 2.4 inch toroid is part number 2631803802 The biggest clamp on number is 0431177081, This is a substantial clamp on and is quite useful. It can handle 1 inch cable but is really good for example for passing RG8X through it 7 or so times to create a really high impedance common mode choke at your antenna feed point or elsewhere. For shopping comparison purposes here is what we paid in January of this year: --2.4 inch toroid (mix 31): $5.46 each, quantity 20 --Biggest clamp on (Round Cable Snap-it, mix 31): $9.39 each, quantity 20. Tax was zero and shipping was $7.60 for entire lot.
