[hpsdr] VNA group buy

What you are looking for is:
SMA END LAUNCH PCB MNT JACK .062 GOLD  Amphenol Connex # 132289
Mouser #  523-132289  $4.64
Digikey # ACX1426-ND $6.23

Not certain  what you are referencing for the ferrite beads but you 
might check out  Kits & Parts
http://www.kitsandparts.com/toroids.php
He is reasonable & does not have any minimum order requirements.  
Shipping usually by USPS which is normally less than Digikey

The Wireman sells RG178 by the foot for $0.63 /ft Item # 157 and 100+ 
feet @ $0.55 / ft
http://thewireman.com/coaxp.html
He also has some Ferrite beads
http://thewireman.com/baluns.html#901

Do you plan to include a brass strip or a solid piece of PCB and the SMT 
resistors ?
