[Elecraft] New KAT500 pics from the Visalia DX convention

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

BNC's can handle kilowatts of RF efficiently at reasonable SWRs. After all,
the popular type N is simply a BNC with a screw-on outer shell. 

Decent quality BNCs (e.g. Amphenol) are rated at 500 volts peak with a
dielectric that will handle 1,500 V rms. That's 5 KW into 50 ohms, if my
brain is working correctly, so they should handle the legal limit for US
Hams into any reasonable SWR.

Did I see BNC adapters?  For THAT much energy?  Not in my shack...  ;-)

It's time to replace the drool pads again...  patience patience
