A sig would never call that a leads, aerial this or that. That thing is a pigtail connector and is the biggest single reason a 19 set will fail to operate correctly.

Hi Bruce . I am no Sigs guy anyway . It’s just what the book says . Pigtail works for me . Could you elaborate on that please ? Why is it a source of failure ? Thanks .

Default Pigtails

Yes Bob, the word “party” comes to mind .We will call it a Jimmy party . …. I have corraled a number of injured former Sigs veterans and working these antique trucks / wireless sets will , i hope ,set them on the way to recovery . Small victories build self esteem and help transition to the civilian world . . Bruce , i found the proper terminolgy in the Emers . Connectors , Pigtail is the proper official Canadian designation .
