DUH....
Just looked at all my usual suppliers, and these seem to be NLA.
There are plenty available for RG-58/58 foam, but none for "Cable Group X", which also includes LMR-240.
I could use RG-58 for this little project, but in my humble experience, RG-8X stands up better to rough handling.
It's just to make some 3~5 foot jumpers for 3~30MHz, so the loss of the cable is irrelevant, but as I noted, 8X stands up to rough handling better than 58 does.
sigh.....looks like I'll have to use 58, which means a trip out to the garage to see if I can dig up the roll of RG-58 I bought years ago.
I knew I should have stocked up on these the last time I ordered them.
Good quality connectors and adapters to an "RF Guy" are like ammo to a gunney....it's hard to have "too much/too many"!

All the ones on eBay are nickel plated. :(
ReplyDeleteYeah, I tried all The Usual Suspects for finding these, and NADA.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be for a 3' jumper carrying the 8.83MHz IF signal from our Kenwood TS-850 to a TelePost "LP-PAN" SDR panadaptor.
I could probably use wet string and get away with it...
