[Kenwood] TS-430S Xverter Connector.

[Joe]

I hope NOT! cuz I did indeed do that! It went in ohhhh between 1/2 and 
3/4 way in, but did not go all the way in. I thought it did not feel 
right, AND it did NOT shut down the HF finals still full output via the 
regular HF SO-239.

UG! Wish me luck after I get a real one thank you Kenwood!
