Well, not to be "that guy", but the SD-24 uses 3.5mm connectors...
Compatible with SMA but not the same.
I have a confession to make. I am "that guy". The one who commits sacrilege
by using cheap Chinese SMA connectors and cables with his 20GHz
wonder-scope. And they're just fine for my needs, and they fit in my
budget. The work the CSA803A does is a small part of my business so I can't
justify spending lots to eke out every last picosecond.
Trouble is, I live in a place which doesn't have hamfests, radio rallies or
surplus equipment to speak of. So if I want used high-end gear I have to
import it from somewhere which has had a decent electronics/R&D activity
for a long time. That usually means USA/UK/Germany, and it's just not worth
it to track down all the little bits and pieces which would be so easy to
find at a rally, sadly.
And I would just like to add that I have a S-52 which makes me *almost* as
cool.
Much cooler, I reckon!
