[Elecraft] BNC connectors for RG-8X Coax

[Joel Black]

Umm... Phil, I got the part number incorrect.

Honestly, I'm not sure what I ordered or from whom. The part number I 
gave you was for a Pro-flex cable so disregard that part number. That 
part number is from a diagram on connector assembly (it had been 25 
years since I put a BNC connector together and that was in tech school).

That said, RF Industries does make solder-pin / clamp connectors and The 
Wireman sells solder-pin / clamp connectors for RG-8x. Call and ask 
them, but it looks like their (The Wireman) part number for a male BNC 
for RG-8x is 1308. The RG-8x BNC connector from RF Industries is an 
RFB-1101-1X.

Sorry for the confusion.

73,
