1) I'm converting from SO-239 to N-Connectors on the K3s's ANT1, ANT2 connectors.... 2) I'm standardizing on one type of cable for "in the shack" stuff so that I don't have to buy a bunch of different dies for my crimp frame... until the tower feedline goes up. 3) I'm only using BNC where it already exists and for connection to some of my test equipment, etc.
The bulkhead plate is a standard 1" x 1" square with holes on 0.718" spacing... standard , if there is one. I KNOW it is a trivial task to desolder the pigtail... I want to keep the stock parts stock and in the parts container with the rest of the spare hardware. I want NEW pigtails to use, so I can return it to stock trim if the need arises. So... I need to source the pigtail plugs, etc. to build new leads. ______________________ Clay Autery, KG5LKV (318) 518-1389 On 2/16/2016 9:12 PM, Ken G Kopp wrote: > > Morse Express sells kits with an SO-239 sized mounting plate, hardware > and a female BNC connector to do just what you're proposing.
