Latest on the new home for my K3...

Gary Peterson
I almost forgot to mention that when making up the patch cables, use colored heat shrink on both ends of the outside of the coax, adjacent to the connectors.  If there is a jumble of patches, it is much easier to quickly see what is patched to what.

>I love patch panels.  If anyone is planning a patch panel and does klutzy, brain fart things like I occasionally do, maybe this will help.

My design goal is:

PL259 - Antenna loads (dummy load on one port, switched)
BNC - Receive Only antennas
N/SMA/TNC - UHF (radio dependent)

no adapters allowed.
