[Elecraft] New KAT500 pics from the Visalia DX convention

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

It's a simple homebrew - a square of aluminum (or whatever - even scrap PCB)
with a hole for the BNC in the center and two or four holes in the SO239
pattern for mounting. But I don't know that there's a significant loss in
using a *quality* SO239-BNC adapter. That's what I do.

It's very nice having only ONE type of coaxial connector - a simple
twist-lock BNC - especially because I have to tear the setup apart
constantly.

I had Joel at The RF Connection (therfc.com) order me some BNC panel
connectors with the same bolt pattern as an SO239. This allowed me to change
out the connectors on my K3 and several other pieces of equipment.
It is not an item he normally stocks as far as I know. I gave them the RFI
part number and they ordered me 10-12 of them as I remember. They may have
even have come drop ship from RFI. But RFI wouldn't even acknowledge an
email from me. The RFI part number is
RFB-115-14 if you want them to order some for you.
