Mounting/cabling PR6

[Jim AB3CV]

The little 3 pin connector without any strain relief and wires hanging off
it give me concern.

How have others made this connection secure mechanically?

I'm thinking of making up a little block with a phono plug for the control
signal and a power pole for power and somehow securing this to the PR6
case, perhaps with double sided foam tap.

I'll make up some RG8X BNC/BNC jumpers for the ins and outs.

Pix and links wanted.

Thanks

Hi Jim,

The small black connector that fits into the PR6 is a really tight friction fit. I doubt it could be accidentally pulled out.

The red and black wires terminate in a RCA plug that goes into the back of the K3. It's no more likely to pull out then any other K3 rear cable. (If you also have a P3 you would need a RCA "Y" cable).

The white wire is more problematic. I extended mine and have it wired into a 15 pin fanout board for the K3 accessory socket.

73,
