On your Cliff type socket it looks to me as though the centre contact pin is set furthest away from the plug entry hole, whereas on the one I described in #163 I think the centre contact pin is offset towards the plug entry hole. I'll see when it gets here.

I see Farnell etc appear to have your original recommended Cliff part, so I may have to get it from there. In the meantime I have an inline socket dangling on the end of a short bit of slim RF Coax - I can use that.

Edit: Thanks for the further info. Main mistake I made was deciding to order a connector when I do not have the PCB to hand - it is at work at the moment.
