For any type of quality RF connector (this does NOT include "UHF" PL-255/SO-239 connectors) with knurled shells, additional tightening beyond finger tight does not help to make a better connec; /archives//html/TenTec/2011-07/msg00164.html (8,545 bytes)

PL259 is not a 50 ohm connector and leaves an impedance bump on the line. That connector became the default connector after WWII but is somewhere around 93; /archives//html/TenTec/2011-07/msg00168.html (8,909 bytes)

Re: [TenTec] Connector tightening (score: 1): Author: "Tony Lelieveld" <va3dwi@gmail.com>; Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 02:36:13 +0000; Another thing to watch for is that the teeth of the PL259 and SO239 are meshed properly and not sit on top of each other. One little bump and you have a loose connection. Tony VE3DWI Sent wirelessly; /archives//html/TenTec/2011-07/msg00169.html (9,062 bytes)

Re: [TenTec] Connector tightening (score: 1): Author: n8cc@mei.net; Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 01:26:28 -0400; Guys, If you stop and think about it, less than 1/10th of a turn beyond 'finger tight' is precious little. It is, however, enough to make a difference. My experience has been, if I go 'just a smidge'; /archives//html/TenTec/2011-07/msg00173.html (9,587 bytes)

Just a "smidge," especially if they get any lateral stress or wiggling over time. As a new ham, I encountered some problems I could not resolve, including poor tuner performance, transceiver; /archives//html/TenTec/2011-07/msg00180.html (8,133 bytes)

Re: [TenTec] Connector tightening (score: 1): Author: Bill Harris <w7kxb@msn.com>; Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 22:12:03 -0700; It would be interesting to know if the 259 connector problems are from any particular manufacture/s. which leads me to ask: are the imports as good as the domestic 259's? My experience tell's me, No.; /archives//html/TenTec/2011-07/msg00183.html (8,248 bytes)

Re: [TenTec] Connector tightening (score: 1): Author: Richards <jruing@ameritech.net>; Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2011 02:12:41 -0400; I do not think the quality differs on the basis of domestic vs foreign manufacture.

How many times have we built a "temporary" antenna, and then left it up for 10 years; /archives//html/TenTec/2011-07/msg00185.html (9,610 bytes)

Re: [TenTec] Connector tightening (score: 1): Author: Stuart Rohre <rohre@arlut.utexas.edu>; Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2011 15:14:32 -0500; You can easily carry a good UHF receptacle to a ham fest and test the offerings of PL 259 plugs for good fit before buying. That is, if the stock is open bins. Stuart Rohre K5KVH ____________________; /archives//html/TenTec/2011-07/msg00188.html (7,755 bytes)

A ham would be CRAZY to buy anything but Amphenol 83-1SP.

I just got another batch of them last week. For just over $3 each, it's foolish to try to 'save' money on anything else.
