[Elecraft] Best Coax for Jumpers and Interconnections for SO2R operation with K3 & KX3

[Robert Nobis]

Dave,

Thank you. RG223 looks like reasonably good cable.  Not sure about LMR-240.  I have had a bad experience with the dissimilar metals (copper and aluminum) with the LMR cable, although it was for a repeater application outdoors.

73,

You can buy the parts for about $22 and DIY. http://www.pasternack.com/showProduct.aspx?SEName=uhf-male-uhf-male-rg223u-cable-assembly-pe3w00408&ProductID=
