BNC adapter question

[James Hall-2]

Hello:

 

I received the PR-6 6M preamp for Christmas. I have found that it eats up a
lot of shelf space hanging in the back as it does. I thought it might work
if I could flip it up, but I can't seem to find a BNC right angle M-M
adapter. Does anyone know if these exist or have other ideas ? I guess I
could make a couple small cables and slip it under the radio.

All the right angle BNCs I've seen are M-F type.  But you could use a
M-F right angle and a M-M connector to make what you need.

If a M-M right angle exists, it's probably carried by The RF Connection.

I would call and inquire.

Oh, they exist Doctor, and I have 2 or 3.  Not new, but it will work.
Address?  I'll mail one to you on Monday.

Hello Jeff,

I would wonder whether the PR6 can be installed inside the K3 main body similar
to the K144XV.  This will possibly tidy up the cabling.

In fact, in the thread of KPA500, I did ask the possibily of having a 6 m preamp
built inside the KPA500.  Without the PR6, K3 is relatively deaf in 50Mhz and I
currently use my Icoms for 6 m operation.  I have noticed some 6m band openings
recently from VK to VR2.

 cheers,


Johnny VR2XMC

Hi Jamie,
Why not just make a couple of short (6") BNC to BNC cables using some RG58?
Thats what I did here with no detectable signal degredation and a whole lot less
room taken up behind the rig.

I mounted my 6m preamp (it is not the PR6) on the back of my K3/10 on
the panel that normally has the fans for the KPA3.  But I suspect
that would work if you have a PR6 and K3/10.

I think the idea of a couple of short cables is better. It gives you
flexibility of where to put the PR6, and I'll be putting mine under the rig
(just far enough forward that the rig still sits on its feet).

Using right angle connectors might make access to some of the other rear
sockets impossible.
