[Elecraft] BNC adapter question

[Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF]

Hi Johnny,
I have no doubt that it would physically fit in the K3 but I'd have to defer to the guy's at Elecraft on how to cable it.
I guess that if you have the KXV3A installed but not the 2M module I dare say that you may be able to do it with TMP cables as is done with the 2M transverter.
But, I have the 2M transverter installed and haven't had a good look around in the guts of my K3 (Mine's a factory built unit) so I couldn't say if there is a way to cable it internally.

  Hello Jeff,

  I would wonder whether the PR6 can be installed inside the K3 main body similar to the K144XV.  This will possibly tidy up the cabling.

  In fact, in the thread of KPA500, I did ask the possibily of having a 6 m preamp built inside the KPA500.  Without the PR6, K3 is relatively deaf in 50Mhz and I currently use my Icoms for 6 m operation.  I have noticed some 6m band openings recently from VK to VR2.

   
  cheers,

  Hi Jamie,
  Why not just make a couple of short (6") BNC to BNC cables using some RG58?
  Thats what I did here with no detectable signal degredation and a whole lot less room taken up behind the rig.

    Hello:

    

    I received the PR-6 6M preamp for Christmas. I have found that it eats up a
    lot of shelf space hanging in the back as it does. I thought it might work
    if I could flip it up, but I can't seem to find a BNC right angle M-M
    adapter. Does anyone know if these exist or have other ideas ? I guess I
    could make a couple small cables and slip it under the radio.
