K3 antenna jacks

[Jim AB3CV]

Perhaps a foolish pursuit but I'm going standard on N in place of SO239.

>From the assembly manual it appears that it would be easy to do a switch
since Ant1 and Ant2 appear to be connected by little pigtails.

Am I correct?

tnx

Yes Jim, Type N's will work fine.  The pigtails are just
stranded wire about 3" or so long with a male pin that
plugs into the antenna tuner module.

However, I've used BNC's on mine.  Oak Hills Research
sells a 2-pack with beautiful adapter plates for $7.50.  His
part number is OP-SB2.

and well past UHF....  and small  & quick bayonet !!!!!!!....
(just like the other bncs on the back of my K3.)

fine with me.
