[Elecraft] [K3] [P3] IF Out / IF In Cable

[Alan Bloom]

Yes, the cable impedance does not matter but the connectors do.  The
75-ohm cable probably has 75-ohm BNC plugs, which as I recall have a
smaller pin.  They might not make reliable connections with the 50-ohm
sockets on the K3 and P3.

Go ahead and try it, but if the connections seem flakey you should get a
real 50-ohm cable.
