I would love to see a similar arrangement made with Digikey, so all hams could get some sort of 'discount' for high and medium volume projects. I am doing allot of buying from them for the 995x DDS kits, and it would be nice if the volume discounts could be applied to smaller quantity purchases of this and similar type non-commercial amateur radio projects.

Gopi and all, Do not buy the rf connectors from the Chinese Connection. They have a variety of mechanical issues and are very poor in general. The topic was discussed in the VNA mailing list, and the conclusion was to avoid them like the plague. Caveat Emptor. GL.
