[Elecraft] K3S RJ-45 Pin Alignment

[Edward R Cole]

I've seen so many uses that were not adhering to the standard 4-pair.

But the most miserable use is as a mic connector which Motorola went 
to.  Now I see many ham radio mfr's copying.  Instead of molded 
multi-contact connector with set screw which holds contact tension 
its just wiggle wiggle that poor RJ45.

But I suppose all the old wise RF designers have retired leaving only 
the digital junkies "who said why not use a cheap RJ-45".  Bean 
counters rejoiced!

Very happily retired not having to deal with such.  I am moving more 
and more toward less use of connectors of any kind (Murphy loves 'em).
