I chose screw terminals. They are rigid and in many cases where people
install equipment, the first thing they'll do is cut off fixed connectors
because the cable has to go through a hole or gland.

I just wish you'd all consider SHIELDING and CONFORMANCE to the NMEA
standard of a BALANCED system....not just you, all of them. It would
sure make listening to HF SSB, NAVTEX, WEFAX and VHF marine bands much
more enjoyable. All this unbalanced, unshielded BS is tearing up the
radios.

FCC simply needs to step in and FORCE compliance with all the various
classes of computer interference regulations already on the books. No
type acceptance and conformance to the standard.....no selling it in
the USA.....just like your notebook from Japan.....

Noone is enforcing the radiation restrictions on NMEA manufacturers,
obviously. It's way past time to start.

3600 planes with transponders are burning 8-10 million
gallons of kerosene per hour over the USA. R-12 car air
conditioners are responsible for the ozone hole, right?
