To be fair, I over-simplified the issue, which partly (or maybe mostly) had to do with electrical ratings under DCC as well as availability at your local Radio Shack. If anyone is interested in the discussion, or in seeing the module standards updated, I suggest joining the group at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/S-Mod and reading the archive. If you have anything to add at that point, I'm sure Don DeWitt and the other members will be interested. This is not to say that modules are OT here, but there is little point in re-hashing issues that have already been covered elsewhere. Pieter E.

You can usually find new or used connectors at amateur radio swaps.
