I would probably not have ordered the K3 if it were not for the good exchange rate. Regardless of that good rate, I don't see big reductions in dealer prices for US kit. 73 M0XDF On 7/5/07 02:08, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent: > Message: 28 > Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 18:55:30 +0100 > From: "m1bnw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft UK Distribution.

That was 1 of my first questions to Wayne, his reply: We'll be supplying only SO239s, but you could replace them with N-type yourself, assuming they'd fit. It's a tight squeeze with the ATU installed. 73, Wayne N6KR On 7/5/07 02:08, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent: > Message: 9 > Date: Sun, 06 May 2007 13:58:12 +0100 > From: Dave G4AON <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Expect delays in our responses to K3 questions > for awhile > In reply to: > "A couple of questions I didn't see answered there (perhaps I missed them) > are:" > > While the antenna sockets are SO239, I hope they offer N types as an option. > It would be nice for Elecraft to lead the field instead of being one of the > followers. > After all, HP and Rohde & Schwarz don't use SO239 connectors on their kit, why > should Elecraft? > > If any of the UK dealers do wake up to Elecraft, I too hope we can still order > direct.

Myself I use high-quality pressure-connection PL259's (about $6 a pop), these are fine. Maybe another little extra Elecraft could offer, some PL259 are wretchedly bad. Just found a picture of some decent PL259 http://www.diodecomms.co.uk/images/UHFAIR7.jpg which are lots better than http://www.maeselectronics.be/images/plug/PL259_7.jpg IMHO.
