Typically $5 or so at fleamarkets....almost no one uses RG-17 these days.
Heliax versions ARE expensive and scarce. I have often found 7/8" Heliax
to EIA flanges and the adapters to LC cheaper recently than the single
connector.
Also, local PCS companies regularly throw away 6 to 12' Andrew factory
made jumpers with DIN connectors.....I picked up a few dozen the other
day in the 1/2" and smaller cable sizes....brand new. Figure I will
remove the DIN connectors and use the cable with regular N connectors for
various VHF/UHF phasing lines, etc. Anyone want DIN's cheap?

How about an auto-tune circuit that a ham can build without breaking the
bank.?
I keep having visions of a YC-156 off in a back room !!
