[Elecraft] PL259s

[Edward R Cole]

I now use Amphenol PL-259's or "UHF male" sliver-plated connectors 
with gold-plated center pins and PFTE insulation from "Dave's Hobby 
Shop" #721405422210 ...$4.95.

I am buying almost all my connectors from Dave's:

Quite often at a savings in price and very rapid shipping.

Another comment on elbow adapters:  I initially used a gold-plated 
sma male elbow on the 2m connection for my KX3 wondering why output 
was low.  I switched to using a short run of .141 rigid coax with sma 
connectors and get less loss.  Elbow adaptors of any type (even 
N-connectors) can be lossy.
