The best argument for UHF connectors is they will work with a
typical CB radio amplifier. N connectors will fail with amateur radio
amplifiers.
My AL-1500 when driven by a 775DSP put out over 5kW of pulse
measured power on a good meter. That's almost CB radio type
power levels.
Now, where did that owl go? Did he head true north, to land on a
Razor Quad or did he get his feet stuck in the rope in the vibrating
element?
