I am installing an EI 4ft sender along with the Dynon D180. I've seen a lot of crazy microprocessor chips and such, but I need something I can actually use. The Dynon option is not an option because it has a BNC adapter on one end which is only useful if you have an RV with the capacitance plate sender unit. My sender has 3 wires coming out, that's it. Thanks, Glenn ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:33:01 AM PST US From: Doug Ilg Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Capacitance to Voltage Converter I'd suggest giving EI a call.

I used a 90 degree BNC adapter between my transponder antenna and the coax and the transponder would not work. It was an adapter, not a connector. I switched to a straight coax to antenna connection (just barely had enough room) and it worked fine. I have since sworn off ever again using a 90 degree BNC adapter.

Those are the commercial grade Amphenol (not to be confused with the AMP/Tyco silver plated Mil Spec BNC's). Even the high grade Amphenol non RFX right angle connectors are well above $17, if you want the consumer grade RFX listed as you referenced, you can find them all over the place cheaper than that by a good margin (around $3-4). That being said, the RFX's are not bad BNC's (we frequently use them on straight connectors), but on the much more complex right angle connectors we prefer the higher grade ones. Anyway, just wanted to make sure people didn't think that particular connector listed below was actually an AMP connector or a Mil Spec connector...neither of which it is. Amphenol is a completely different company/product line than AMP/Tyco. Just because someone says they "meet or exceed" military specifications on a website doesn't make it true.
