Re: D hole plate to fit SO-239 bulkhead hole - SO-239 to BNC conversion
I do use lock washers on controls/connectors, like the amatuer radio kits enclosure has all round holes so there is no choice. No big deal, I don't fret about it. It's just that Marshall had such an

Re: D hole plate to fit SO-239 bulkhead hole - SO-239 to BNC conversion
Hi, I have been disappointed when a couple of *cheap*, cheap, cheep imported, die-cast, through-hole BNC connectors broke with even modest tightening. Never mind about any kind of "super" tightening.

Re: D hole plate to fit SO-239 bulkhead hole - SO-239 to BNC conversion
Tom, when I worked for the government, we had the D-shaped punches but I never wondered at what price they came to us. $200 I can believe, all things considered. Even $100 is a bone-cruncher for me

Re: plugging mic in causes the ubitx V6 to go into transmit mode
I have no tried it yet but from another V6 user's hint in this forum, I opened the mic case and opened the little hole for the eletret element up to 1/8th-in. I may also replace the eletret with an

The first suggested option was less than $4 which to me is the better way to go UNLESS the flange is hobgobbled and not plated professionally. Seems there is a price to everything, though, an
