[Elecraft] 2.1mm Power Plugs

[Don Brown]

Hi

Be careful some of the made up cables have very small wire in them and the
drop will be excessive in transmit. I tried some from Radio Shack and was
not happy with them. Also the connectors from Radio Shack will not work with
large gage wire.

I use a cable made up from 3 feet of Radio Shack red-black 18 gage speaker
wire and the 502-S-760 Switchcraft connector this is the same connector
Elecraft supplies with the K2-K1.
