Receive antenna connection
Locked
 
|
I have a K9AY receive loop to connect to my K3. The
K9AY box needs a RCA phono plug. I’m afraid I don’t recognize
what the plug is on the KXV3 aux. antenna board. Can someone tell me what it is (maybe a BNC)? Does
anyone know a source of a phono to the mystery connector cable? if not,
where can I find the mystery connector? Then I can make a cable. 73, Joe

The K3’s receiver antenna
in connector is a BNC connector. You might find an adapter at
Radio Shack. You don’t need a gold-plated one for this application, but
Radio Shack part # 278-303 is a gold BNC to RCA phono adapter. You could
fasten that to the K3’s back panel and plug an RCA male-to-male connector
between your K9AY loop box and this adapter. I have a surplus place in my
town that has many odds and ends of cables with various connectors. I’d
rummage around one of those places if you have one in your neighborhood. I search around using “male
BNC female RCA adapter” as the search argument and found a fair number of
hits. I’ve never shopped at
these places, though. http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=5435 http://www.smarthome.com/7809RB1/BNC-Male-to-RCA-Female-Adapter-2127/p.aspx http://www.shopwiki.com/search/RCA+Female+to+BNC+Male+Adapter http://www.trianglecables.com/200-173.html If you look around you may even
find a cable of the appropriate length for your situation that has a male RCA
connector on one end for the K9AY loop box and a male BNC on the other for the
K3 receive antenna. Or as you say, you can make up a cable. If you’re making up your
own cable, there are instructions on installing BNC connectors in the ARRL
handbook. GL & 73 de Dick, K6KR From:

Hi Joe:
Grove Enterprises has an excellent assortment of adapters at low prices and only $3.00 shipping. I think you are looking for the ADP01 for $1.50. I'm currently using an F female to BNC male (ADP09) on the AUX RF input to the sub receiver. I received it about 2 days after I ordered. http://www.grove-ent.com/ANTADAP.html 73, Mike K2MK [Elecraft] Receive antenna connection Joe Hoffman Tue, 30 Dec 2008 12:32:26 -0800 I have a K9AY receive loop to connect to my K3.

Many thanks to all for the information. I will try my local Radio Shack
first and then get online if necessary. Now I need to get the K9AY loop up- we had snow last night so it must be time for antenna work! 73, Joe W8JH -----Original Message----- From: K2MK [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 4:56 PM To: [hidden email]; Elecraft Reflector Subject: RE: Receive antenna connection Hi Joe: Grove Enterprises has an excellent assortment of adapters at low prices and only $3.00 shipping.
