[Elecraft] k2 antenna connector

[Rick Dettinger]

> I'm perfectly happy with the BNC on the K2 and it would be a good choice
for all moderate power amateur equipment.  No threads to get crossed etc.
The only issue is it's a bit more fiddly to fit the cable connector.

==============================================
I operate QRP only and really like BNC connectors.  I change rigs almost as
often as I change keys, including during a QSO.  The BNC connectors make
this a snap.  There is one other issue I have found.  As far as I can
determine, there are no BNC connectors made for larger coax, such as RG213.
Not a problem in the shack, small cables are one of the advantages of QRP.
The problem is the connector on the cable that comes into the shack, as even
(especially) QRP stations benefit from the low loss available with large
coax.  I need to use an intermediate RG 58 cable with a BNC plug on one end
and UHF on the other and a connector.  Not a big deal really.  I have
replaced the UHF connectors on my non Elecraft kits, including my OHR WM2,
with the BNC adaptors sold by Morse Express.  The work very well.  Now I
just to need deal with non standard key and power jacks.
