Well done, Ken!   That is the one mod I was planning for my K3 when it
arrives in Feb.  I was planning to make just one aluminum panel piece and
mount it to the S0-239 mounting holes and use two BNC bulkheads in it.  I
was unaware that Oak Hills had pre-made fittings for this.  Using two of
these is certainly an option if I don't want to do the cutting/drilling.
Thanks for the tip - it had been awhile since I looked at the Oak Hills
website.

By the way, everything here in the shack and test bench is also all BNC.  I
never understood the attraction of UHF connectors.  To me they seem large,
cumbersome and aggravating.  Glad I don't know how much $ I have spent in
UHF/BNC adapters over the years  ;>)
