In the past I've actually routed the shielded CTCSS endode audio source wire through chassis and cabinet/box holes and in this case I used the feed through-capacitor method. Yes, but if you run a wire into a box through a hole, you might as well take the lid off too, as that wire will act

I read about the Anderson Power Pole connectors in QST and thought, What a great idea. I started using them in our county's com van for the portable 800 MHz repeater and ham gear, and was I disappointed. Even the coiled cord for the cigarette lighter plug pulled them apart. Now I'm supposed to
