[Elecraft] Z10000 installatoin in K2

[Jack Smith]

  The reason for an SMA is that it mounts in a 0.25 inch (6.35mm) hole 
and can be fitted onto a K2 rear panel with all possible options 
installed. It was not possible to get a BNC to work under all conditions 
of K2 options.

The particular SMA provides shielding integrity, unlike using a panel 
mount BNC with a solder lug and center conductor loop.
