It's certainly possible, given a 75 Ohm male connector and a 50 Ohn female connector, to end up without good electrical contact on the central conductor, especially if you're dealing with cheap plugs and sockets. Been there, suffered the consequences. -- 73, Rick, M0LEP (KX3 #3281) ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
