Standards? What standards? I quit having trouble when I started making my own cords with the 10 mm pins. I use the kind with a wrap around solder connection to the shield inside the cover. I also use teflon jacketed shielded coax of one size or another. Very permanent. Very shielded. Never melts when soldering. Bad cords and connectors are responsible for so much trouble.... 73, Guy K2AV ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
