I have COM/NAV/MB & FM antennas in the wing tips of my RV-10 and want a

"disconnect" at the wing root.  I have Cannon Plug connector for all of the

other wires in the wing, with the exception of the strobe, which is

stand-alone.  The plug has solder type connectors.  I want to pass the

antenna cables through the cannon plug using two pins each, one for the

conductor and one for the shield.  Has anyone had any experience in doing

this?  What are the expected results?  Pros/Cons, etc.?  Your input is

appreciated.



Thanks,



Jack Sparling

In short, don't do it. If you want quick-disconnect for your antennas  

install a male and a female BNC connector.



Longer version: a cannon connector is not a constant impedance  

connector. It also doesn't preserve the shielding. A BNC does.
