Connectors

[Bill Levy]

Gent's back in the day there were folks that screamed and decried the fact
that the S Line used RCA jacks for RF output ignoring the virtues of the
frontpanel, 1 kc dials, filters, beautiful hand wiring and wouldn't touch
the stuff.

Collins sold 40,000 transceivers and many went to parts of the world where
no one would have a local PL259 but everyone had RCA plugs to solder on
RG58. There was a method to their brilliant madness.

I was also taught by my elders and I am no spring chicken not to pull power
cords out of the wall but to bend down and pull the plug!

My two cents.

Now the challenge for me is bending down, and
getting back up straight again!
