[Elecraft] Building KX-2 SN 1482 Question

[John R. Lonigro]

Larry:
You can also buy a BNC - banana plug adapter from Jameco (no 
affiliation) for a few bucks.  Take it off when not using it and you 
have a stock K2.

I anticapate mostly using the KX-1 for camping, backpacking, and portable use with an endfed wire and counterpoise..  So instead of using the BNC and an adapter,  I am considering contructing it with alligator clip outputs.  It would appear to me to be easy to put the BNC connector in later if I decide the alligator clips are not a good choice.  Removing the BNC looks like a difficult task if I later decide I don't like it.
