Bruno-

I saw someone respond that they were probably BNC connectors.  I expect that 
that
is the case.  You can buy "solderless" BNC connectors also; I would discourage
you from using them.  Use only solder type.  If you have any friends who are
radio amateurs, they can probably help you install them on the cables.  If
not, you should be able to find instructions for installing them with a Google
search.  Installing a BNC is a little tricky, but a piece of cake for anyone
who can build a Europa.  In the US, the connectors sell for about $3.00 each.
They are decidedly not expensive.

Dear Europa Family,

Maybe somebody can help me.
In my Europa I have installed a KX 125 Com/Nav System.
For this I need urgently 2 antenna connectors, just only the nice little 
connectors
which go on the antenna calbles.
The normal aircraft equipment supply shops do not have them.

Now I have asked a proper aircraft maintenance shop and they are asking 
$ 50,20 per item for the connector and $ 10,00 per item for a ring to fix the 
connector.
Thats 120,20 dollar just for connecting the antenna cables.

Im a little bit confused about this medical care prices.
Are these prices correct or is there somewhere a source, where I can get them 
cheaper?

Many thanks for inputs.
Best Regards,

Bruno
