Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Rf connectors inside
Look for hifissb on Ebay.co.uk. They sell lots of modules from stripped equipment. Their email address is hifi...@gmail.com Reinhard has lots of ready-made TMP cables removed from current equipment and I'm sure he could help out, rather than you spending forever hunting out components and crimp tool. He's a nice, helpful guy and I hope to see him at the UK's National Car Boot Sale on 19th May. Recently, I purchased a few TMP sockets from Inrad, the filter people, but here's a warning. If you don't ASK them to send the goods by USPS First Class International, they will send them by some priority system. It's insane that some American businesses can sell $6 of components that fit in a tiny padded bag and then ship them for $38, when transit time is the same or just a day longer! I asked and they agreed to send the items for $7 by First Class International, but they arrived by Priority mail and my account was debited for $38 shipping. I protested and they refunded me $31. I had been asked to remind them on the order of the different postal arrangements and I did, but not in the way they had anticipated. Different minds Hi! I mention this only because you don't get if you don't ask! I always ask Elecraft to send stuff to me by cheapest air route to the UK. If the package is subjected to VAT by Customs, the purchaser is supposed to pay VAT on the shipping charge and often does. It can make a significant difference to the cost. 73 Dave G3TJP __ 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

They are called TMP connectors. The connectors are very inexpensivethe crimp tool to properly install them, not so much.
