AW: [Elecraft] PlugIn Balun for K2/Kat1 ATU

Thu Aug 22 04:53:01 2002

Hello Mike,

the reason to use a BNC jack was to give it more flexibility. With the
jack connector at both the transceiver AND the PlugInBalun, you can use
it either with any standard plug /plug BNC cable offset from the
transceiver or you can use it with the cableless plug/plug connector we
ship with the PlugInBalun.

QRPproject.de is an info page only. On any page of qrpproject.de you
find a link to both e-shops, german and English in the upper and lower
part of the page. The link is named eshop German / eshop English and has
a little UK flag.=20

Do you think its better to add an US flag beside the UK flag ;-))
