I've experienced BOTH... it is maddening for sure. That's why I now put covers on ALL unused connector ends for cables/jumpers not actually in use. There's a reason the military "dummy cords" a connector cover to virtually everything. <wink> 73, ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G (318) 518-1389 On 06/03/18 09:58, jeff griffin wrote: > FIXED !
