Right, and then using a relatively inexpensive N to UHF adapter if you

Quality (Amphenol) N to UHF adapters are NOT inexpensive. The ones that
ARE inexpensive are JUNK, and should be avoided. When I got back on the
air around 2003 after a long absence, I filled my junkbox with these
JUNK connectors, and soon lived to regret it. Over the next 3-5 years, I
experienced at least six failures that were the result of those JUNK
connectors.
Do yourself a favor -- don't buy no-name connectors. I'm talking about
those pretty, shiny connectors sold at hamfests, and, sadly, by most
vendors who advertise in QST and CQ. We must go to vendors like Allied,
Newark, and DigiKey to get the real deal.
