Re: N elbow connector problem with FT-817.
I don't believe, Jeffrey, that "N" series connectors will work on the

is an SO-239 ("UHF" series).

I bought an N connector elbow so that when I use the rubber duck, it stick

Re: Counterpoise Kit for ATX Walkabout
Ken,
Started assembly. I messed one up (I inserted it ok) but the crimp did not

It's unfortunate that an interesting question gets dumped due to one or two
