[Elecraft] Pomona Adapter Query
I have the recommended Pomona BNC-to-dual binding post adapter for use with my KX1. It looks like some kind of wire termination might fit into the ends of the binding posts. Has anybody got a recommendation for what kind of wire termination would fit snugly into those openings? Banana plugs are too large. It would be nice to have a plug-in option, in addition to crimping bare wires. -Scott N3SW -New Cumberland PA ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] Pomona Adapter Query
Scott, The intended male plug to go into the Pomona adapter binding posts is a standard banana plug. They come in both straght and right-angle versions and in many colors. If you want to use a plug to go into the holes under the binding posts a standard tip plug is the item. Both types of plugs are found on the meter ends of VOM test leads, depending the brand of meter. I think they can be found at Radio Scrap 73!

Re: [Elecraft] Pomona Adapter Query
Ken: Thanks. What I already have must not be standard banana plugs, because they won't fit. Guess I'm going on a shopping trip... 73. -sw- - Original Message - From: Ken Kopp [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Scott Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED]; elecraft reflector elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 6:10 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Pomona Adapter Query Scott, The intended male plug to go into the Pomona adapter binding posts is a standard banana plug.

Re: [Elecraft] Pomona Adapter Query
BTW: The Chinese imitations of the Pomona #1296 sometimes have sub standard jack holes in the binding posts! I bought a couple of the cheapies and they work, but they are crappy compared with the real thing. 73, Sandy W5TVW - Original Message - From: Scott Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ken Kopp [EMAIL PROTECTED]; elecraft reflector elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 6:05 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Pomona Adapter Query Ken: Thanks.

Re: [Elecraft] Pomona Adapter Query
Ken: Thanks. What I already have must not be standard banana plugs, because they won't fit. Guess I'm going on a shopping trip... 73. If I remember correctly, Pomona makes a standard size adaptor and a miniture one. I bought the smaller one and I like the size for portable operations as it fits in a small package better. I don't know if they make a plug to fit, but I would think so. I just double the end of my #24 antenna and ground wire and tin it. Insert thru the small hole and tighten the plastic nut. It seems to last a long time. Also, it is field repairable with a small knife if the wire plug breaks. I just moved into a new house and have been using just such a portable antenna for two months now with no breakage, yet. 73 Rick Dettinger K7MW ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
