[Elecraft] [K3] PR6 to RCV ANT - BNC Connectors

[D Joyce]

GM Tim:  I also have my PR6 connected using a pair of Male-Male BNC 
adapters - I'm using Amphenol and have never experienced the problem you 
speak of.  The part number in the 2011 DigiKey catalogue is ACX1062-ND @ 
$6.32 each (pg 456)

Hope that helps.

73,  Doug  VE3MV
