Not to claim to be some super operator or know it all... This is the safest way to keep track of bad cables. I have a few waiting for new ends. And Don's last paragraph makes great sense. Modified equipment has less value. I want the wife to get all she can out of my equipment when I die while running (not in the shack on my PC and HR).

I do keep a constant check on the BNC connectors - if the shield escapes the clamp, or the center conductor is pulled back, I discard the cable, or simply cut off the offending cable end so I know to repair it later. For those with more permanent stations, I would highly recommend sticking with theUHF connectors or using UHF to BNC adapters rather than modifying your equipment. Just my humble opinion. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/24/2012 10:37 PM, Craig Smith wrote: > I installed the Oak Hills BNC connectors in my K3 during the initial build 5 years ago. Great decision. Much more convenient and allows for rapid cable changes. Everything in my shack and antenna runs has been standardized with BNCs. > > 73 Craig AC0DS ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
