A while back there was list discussion about small, pre-bent, rigid coax with m-SMA connectors on the ends. One would have to dig back in the archives for the reference. They are very inexpensive, probably a surplus buy-up of some government procurement mistake.
SMA to BNC adapters are easy to find. Because of the way that the PR6 mounts with just straight-thru m-BNC to m-BNC adapters, I used these rigid lines to bring the PR6 up and onto the left rear of my K3. No re-bending of the rigid lines is needed, and this gets the PR6 and its connections up out of the jungle of the rear K3 connections (in my case, 3 lines from the SignaLink, 3 antenna lines, a COM connection, and a connection to my XV144, along with the paddles and power. Noodles to say, I am not using the extra antenna connections on the PR6.) And, yes, I am in a very quiet location, thanks to Gaia. Unfortunately it has the propagation/reception properties of the interior of the Homestake Mine. Nevertheless, I would like to see more (much more) digital operation on 6 meters (this includes CW, of course, the ultimate digital mode).
