[Elecraft] BNC connectors for RG-8X Coax

[Dennis Griffin]

I have ordered several jumper/adapter cables made with RG174 from WiFi RF Expert. They have been good quality. An example is a 24" RG174 BNC Male 90° to UHF Female for $12.29. He can custom make most anything an OM might want. RF Parts is a source for various RF connectors & inline adapters.

I also have a 25' piece of RG-8x with a PL-259 on one end and the BNC on the other for when I go to the park and operate. I have not had any failures with them; your mileage may vary. :)
