Bill, Another issue with BNC connectors to take into account is that 50 ohm & 75 ohm BNC male connectors have a very slightly different diameter on the male center pin. The larger one (don't remember which one) can expand the female center socket. If you switch to the smaller version male after using the larger one, you may get an intermittent connection. You can tighten the female with a dental pick. We mixed connectors when TV stations switched from UHF to BNC for video. We found this issue years later! All BNC males are not the same. I make sure to use 50 ohm BNC connectors in the ham station for this reason. 73 George AI4VZ

Yes that crossed my mind but the cable I use now was suppose to be from the "new" batch. I called and got replacement from Elecraft Parts after earlier problem. I think this cable has been in use for better than a year or more and nothing has changed. I will switch cables as soon as I can find or make a new one. I was just curious if anyone else had a similar problem crop up.
