Peter,
Thank you, this is helpful. Ken Kinderman showed me a very similar solution that he came up with. I am currently in search of a couple PL-154 (12 pin XMTR Tray to Modularos) and one more PL-156 to connect the XMTR tray to the T/R switch. I bought a couple extra PL-153s (18-pin) and an extra PL-151 to use the shells and the female receivers/lugs. The next task is to find a suitable material to make the inserts out of; any suggestions of something easy to work with basic tools and can handle the B+ voltage?
