 Would it be possible to use the F-connector in a transmitting situation? I 
have never thought about it that way but considering how good the connector 
actually is (I think it is better than the "old, trusted UHF"-connector) it 
should be possible to use it instead of PL-239 for the slimmer cables. Any idea 
what power it could take?
Just my penny,

Actually, there are VERY high quality F-connectors available with gold plated 
center pins (crimp and/or solder), ptfe insulation, et al.Canare makes 
excellent broadcast quality cable and connectors in F and BNC.And they make the 
tooling to along with the materials.73,Clay, KY5GSent from my Verizon, Samsung

I am wondering why F connectors are popular in amateur radio stations?  Theyare 
not waterproof, maybe partially if an o-ring is added. Basically asTerry noted 
they are a cheap connector that has no center pin other the coaxwire. John
