Definately keep the BNC connector on there, and just use an adaptor. Alligator clip pigtails will be much more of a headache than you realize at this time. 73 de Alex NS6Y

The build is going well. My question is this: has anyone used alligator clip outputs in place of the BNC connector? What do you see as the pros and cons of using alligator clips?

I have been using the SST and the L-tuner (which has alligator clip outputs) since last fall and so am accustomed to using alligator clips. I anticapate mostly using the KX-1 for camping, backpacking, and portable use with an endfed wire and counterpoise.. So instead of using the BNC and an adapter, I am considering contructing it with alligator clip outputs. It would appear to me to be easy to put the BNC connector in later if I decide the alligator clips are not a good choice. Removing the BNC looks like a difficult task if I later decide I don't like it.

I welcome any comments.
