Thanks, but I've already covered that ground. The connectors are not
threaded per the specs. I reported the problem to the dealer, and they
told
me that after checking their stock, they found that about half of the
relays
had incorrect threads on the connectors.

So, if anyone is in the market for a coaxial relay and are considering
Tohtsu, make sure that the seller tries a PL-259 on ALL THREE of the
connectors on the relay. Hard to understand how a reputable machine
company
could make such a mistake, but it happened. The dealer, Nebraska Surplus
Sales, stepped up to the problem immediately and is doing the right thing.

Floyd -

I have heard of this problem from overseas mfg. (getting the 5/8 - 24
threads correct) .. which I am sure is realted to being more familair with
metric and not having the tools properly calibrated for English !

Glad to hear you are getting support for it. Another reason to consider the
Dow model 60 series for usage.
