[Elecraft] RCA Connectors i.e Phono Plugs

[Fred Jensen]

The Nanokeyer is the creation of Oscar, DJ0MY.  It's possible that the 
RCA Phono connector is called a "Cinch" connector in EU or DL, but in 
the US [and I believe Canada], it is quite distinct from the 
"Cinch-Jones" connectors, which I find are still available from the 
several sources I checked.
