Howdy, TowerTalkians --
Here's an interesting technical article on UHF connectors by Larry,
W0QE.
http://www.w0qe.com/Technical_Topics/uhf_connector_compensation.html

Larry has done some very nice work here, which I've used by adding cable to those connectors -- one pair to connect the cable to the source, and a second pair for connection to a load. See the link below.

k9yc.com/UHFConnectorImpedance.pdf

The only thing I changed in Larry's connector model is the loss in the section of transmission line that describes the connector to a value I believe is much more realistic for conductors the size of a mated pair of Amphenol UHF connectors.

Looking at this, I don't see a need for compensation.
