Re: [Elecraft] Cinch Jones Connectors

[Wes]

You remember correctly.  And they can require a tussle to separate on the bigger 
sizes.

Re: [Elecraft] Cinch Jones Connectors

[Charlie T]

There is an easy locking device that can be added to any Cinch-Jones
connector.
The ones used on the older Yaesu radios had this device included.
You would have to practically destroy the chassis to get them apart if you
didn't squeeze it properly to dis-engage the lock.

Much tighter and higher current rating than those Anderson power poles
everyone seems to have fallen for.

Because they are not locking and will separate if pulled, on more than once
occasion while I was snarfing around behind the desk and got my foot tangled
up in all the "wireless" down there, I did not pull the TX off the desk.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Tilt stand

[Don Wilhelm]

Sorry for the typo in the first line - the ETS2 is the standard 3 inch 
tilt stand, the ETS15 is the 1.5 inch short tilt stand.


It is normally used with the KAT100 when the K2 is stacked on top of the 
KAT100, but it can be used in other configurations as well - owner's choice.
