I'm in process of wiring and read a thread the other day about the radio coax connections. It said that "standard" practice was to solder a short (6") pc of coax to the connector on the tray and put a BNC connector on it's end to faciltate removal. Sounds like a good idea to me but I'm not an EE so I don't know what the additional connectors add for loss.
The Garmin trays I have (SL-30 and GTX-327) both have solder type connectors. I've found a DBA-600 that would replace the stock one in the 327 so a BNC would hook directly up, but the ones on the SL-30 are held on with shoulder type nuts so the float more. Is there a replacement for these that would accept a BNC connector or should I just solder on a short pc?
Thanks
