[BC] Giant PL-259s - was "Where can I find....."

[Gary Peterson]

"    The oversize PL-259 type connectors that are used on the test leads
for a OIB-1 or 3?  Delta wants an arm, leg and several children for a
lead set.   I was considering making my own...but have not been able to
find the connector.

I have three of the giant PL-259 style female-female adapters (barrels) that
I bought at an engineering school surplus auction.  They are in the original
Amphenol cellophane packaging.  I think Amphenol would be a good place to
look.  These animals, used on the OIBs, may be so rare that they might not
be in a catalog (I've never seen one in an Amphenol catalog).  You might
take a photo of one and e-mail it to the company.

I'm not sure what I would use one of these giant barrels for.  I have an
OIB-3, but haven't needed a F-F adapter as of yet.  They were in a huge pile
of equipment and parts.  I bought the whole lot.  My wife tells me to "Get
rid of a bunch of that junk...you'll never use 90% of it."  I tell her
"That's true...I just don't know which 10% I'll need."
