[Elecraft] k2 antenna connector

[nr5a]

I don't know what they are called but I got a deal that has the BNC 
connector and on the other end is a SO-239. That works great for me. Sorry I 
just don't know the name of it but they are common and easy to get. I think 
I got mine from Rat Shack.

Hi Scott,

Well, the BNC is soldered to the board and then just sticks out the back
of the rig.   Changing it to SO-239 would probably require enlarging the
opening in the case and possibly moving the hole up.  That may get in
the way of options down the road.

It will probably be easier to build a pigtail cable for yourself.  BNC
on one end, PL259 on the other.  Use a barrel connector to make it
SO-239.

The other path to SO-239 is with the KPA100.  That baby uses SO-239.

Hmmm, come to think of it, maybe you could put an SO-239 in the back
edge of the top panel, same place it would be with the KPA100.  A small
coax jumper to the board and you just might be in business.

Has anyone ever changed the antenna connector on the K2 to a
SO239 instead of the bnc connector?
