[TowerTalk] R7000 input connector

[Richard & Martha Wilder]

Last night, I also appeared to have an input connector 
intermittent.  

First, I found that I could not connect a mil-spec (UG-')
adapter to the R7000 box because the box connector did 
not extend far enough to grab the first UG-' connector
thread.  A regular connector only grabbed a couple threads
and I question if that really pulled the center prong far enough
into the box connector.  The problem is that Cushcraft has not used 
a connector that will extend enough through the box, mounting 
bracket, lock washer, and nut.  I removed the lock washer
and nut and was able to make a connection.  THIS SEEMED TO WORK
but I ran out of time and have not given it a good test.
