[Elecraft] KPA500 to KAT500 RF connection?

Jim,

Experience tells me that using a "rigid" coax connection between two stacked 
units, such as a KPA500 and a KAT500, is not a good idea unless the stacked 
units are bolted together or mounted in the same rack.  If one of the units 
should move even by a small amount, or try to move, a "rigid" coax 
connection between the two would be stressed.  A flexible coax cable is the 
better option.

Murphy is always causing things to move :-)
