I had that happen once too many years ago with an Amphenol PL-259. Since then I make sure that they fit together before soldering!

It's not too bad since I'm mostly a CW operator and don't usually have a lot of other peripherals, SDR, computer, etc. connected to the K3. BTW, I don't trust the Amphenol name particularly after getting a bad plug that wouldn't thread correctly (only realized after soldering the thing on the coax and trying to use it. Arggh!). Amphenol is offshore product now. 73, Drew AF2Z ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
