Speaking of this, I bought some jumpers recently, and I noticed the PL259 plugs slipped into the SO239 socket too freely, as if no contact.
Rather then bend the pins on the socket, I applied a little solder to the plug's center conductor and then filed the solder down until it slid into the socket with some friction. I have no doubts now. ----- Original Message ----- From: zumbruns To: Elecraft Reflector Sent: Friday, January 25, 2013 1:49 PM Subject: [Elecraft] (ELECRAFT) K3 RECEIVER SOUNDS LIKE BAD COAX CONNECTOR TO ME.
