[Boatanchors] Riveting in Collins radios

[David Knepper]

Glenn, the problem with the RCA connector as you well know is that the 
porcelain cracks from constant abuse - in and out.
Then, where are you as they say.

When properly installed, the RCA is actually a better r.f. connector than 
the UHF SO-239 and is just as good as the BNC.  The only thing is that the 
RCA cannot handle as much power as the SO-239.  However, it can definitely 
handle well over 100 watts all the way up to at least 1296 MHz.

On my 32S-3 I replaced the RF OUT and RCVR connectors with an SO-239 and BNC 
respectively.
