I agree a mil standard type N is easier...no soldering the shield! Can solder
the center pin with a 40W pencil iron.
Give me a type N any day over a PL-259. :-)

Dan,
You probably bought those at TT as I sold a bunch of them when I worked for
Gerald. I would assume he still has them. I will disagree with the "easier to
use" part though. I learned to install N connectors in the military as that is
what all the UHF & SHF stuff used, and still prefer putting an N on than a
PL-259 any day. BTW: the HF & VHF all had BNCs and I prefer those over PL-259s
also.

Subject: [TowerTalk] N Connectors
Ten years or so ago when I lived in Dallas, I picked us several type N
connectors of an unusual construction. They resembled
PL259's in appearance. They unscrewed into 2 parts. The center pin was
held in a teflon cylinder in the cable attach part. They are easier to
use than conventional N connectors. Does anyone know where these can be
purchased today?
