Re: [Elecraft] KX2: mini-banana plug

The Pomona 2945-0 uses a set screw to secure the wire. Pomona 3690-0 and 4617-0 also fit the KX2 but the wire is soldered to the plug. 73, Bob N7XY On 2/8/17 1:08 PM, Stephen Prior wrote: Further to my previous message, thanks to Ben W4SC, I have identified the plug I need. For UK

Re: [Elecraft] KX2: mini-banana plug

Further to my previous message, thanks to Ben W4SC, I have identified the plug I need. For UK readers, put Pomona 2945-0 into your favourite auction site and you will find several at decent prices. 73, Stephen G4SJP On 8 February 2017 at 16:13, Stephen Prior wrote: >

[Elecraft] KX2: mini-banana plug

Had my KX2 some days now and very pleased with it. I thought I would buy some mini-banana plugs for the counterpoise, but they are too small to properly fix in the hole provided. I had assumed that the KX2GNDPLUG would be a standard size. Postage from USA makes for a very expensive little item.

Hi, Don't try to transmit through any of those, even QRP! They are for receive only such as FM and TV. I also doubt that most of them are effective below 50MHz. AB2TC - Knut David Christ wrote > It says balun connector. Does that mean it is like the old F to twin lead > connectors that had a

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 mini-banana plug improvement

It says balun connector. Does that mean it is like the old F to twin lead connectors that had a balun internally. If so I don’t think it would do what you want it to. David K0LUM > On Jul 11, 2016, at 3:08 AM, Szabó István wrote: > > Could these BNC adapters be used for

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 mini-banana plug improvement

Those are for TV, so they are probably 75 Ohm. Those can be used with 50 Ohm connectors if both are made to the BNC spec. With each one costing under a dollar, I’m not sure about the quality. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Jul 11, 2016, at

Could these BNC adapters be used for it? No additional weight, no more space required. http://www.ebay.com/itm/381429029110 73, István, HA4ZD __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help:

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 mini-banana plug improvement

I vaguely someone suggesting connecting a power pole to a single mini banana plug via a short lead. Then different counterpoise lengths can be connected via the power pole, and will still pull out from the banana socket if stepped on. Seems like a good plan, and there would be other ways to

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 mini-banana plug improvement

Bob, If I understand your question corretly --- But why? If you are using the BNC to binding post adapter, the ground connection is to the same board PC ground plane as the ground connection of the BNC to binding post adapter. The use of the mini-banana plug is a convenience for those

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 mini-banana plug improvement

Not exactly what you're asking for, but for stackable, non-solder mini banana plugs, try Pomona #2945s; you can get them from Mouser and other places online. I use the Pomona #3296 mini binding post adapter for my wire antennas, so mini-banana is my common connector. Biggest downside is that the

It would be nice if Elecraft offered a mini-banana plug for use with the KX2 that would have a binding post or other device that would allow the counterpoise to be attached without soldering the wire -- the binding post to bnc connector is nice and the same binding post would be useful with the
