Gent's back in the day there were folks that screamed and decried the fact
that the S Line used RCA jacks for RF output ignoring the virtues of the
frontpanel, 1 kc dials, filters, beautiful hand wiring and wouldn't touch
the stuff.

Collins sold 40,000 transceivers and many went to parts of the world where
no one would have a local PL259 but everyone had RCA plugs to solder on
RG58. There was a method to their brilliant madness.

I was also taught by my elders and I am no spring chicken not to pull power
cords out of the wall but to bend down and pull the plug!

My two cents.
