And I suspect that this standard doesn't apply to Heliax and similar styles. There would almost always be a requirement that one follow the manufacturer's recommendation, as well. Jim _______________

If not on UHF I don't see any reason for N connectors. UHF connectors on HF have so little loss you'd never know they are there. I have as many as 14 in each run from the rig to the antennas on top o

there. Yup. I recently made up 1100 ft of very low loss RG8 in 100 ft lengths for the Iraq DXpedition. I measured their loss in series up to 500 MHz. That's 22 PL259s and 10 barrels. All real Ampheno

I too agree that PL type connectors are fine at HF. Speaking of junk connectors; I used the MFJ 259B to try and measure a new dummy load up thru 2 meters. A PL to N adaptor was used at the MFJ as the

So you would ignore what those in the business say and what some of us have measured. That the insertion loss at HF is so small as to be less than a measurement error for the equipment to which most

I'd add that for LMR-600 you have to really hunt for UHF connectors. I did find some clamp type through Davis Electric that appear to work well. I did modify them though by opening up the internal re
