Ahhhh. Quite a different animal. Definately find a surplus store. I've got
a few 'female' RCA 'sockets' in my junk box. No coax attached though. You
would have to solder your own.

Yeah, I get what you're after now...you'll probably have to make up your
own if you can find the Female RCA. What you're describing is something
like a 300 ohm to 75 ohm balun with blade connectors on the 300 ohm twin
lead and an F connector on the other end, only you don't need the balun,
just that type of setup with an RCA receptical on it.

Joy lives in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in
the victory itself.
