Some years ago one of the "standard" SO239 coax connectors
would short out the HV supply at the Amp. Then I switched to the HN
series
of connectors with RG-8 solid....never a problem after that,
but THEN I discovered WHY the SO239 was shorting out. It
had a hair-line crack in it! I think a standard SO239 (in good
condition)
would have been OK to use for the voltage I was running.
