Thanks for the reply, Roy.

5) One last question - not having to do with the coax RF choke:
Cushcraft "operating tips" say to not use vinyl tape on SO239 or PL-239
connectors. Why? What problem would the tape cause??

Can't help you there.

Please make that "Dave Platt" --

thinks it's the tape's lack of water sealing. I have been using some
putty-like sealer on my 239s lately, but it is a mess to clean off when
disconnecting and re-connecting the coax - as sometimes required.
