My experience with off brand UHF connectors has not been all that
great.  The problem I have run into has to do with machining the
threads.  Off brand males don't thread onto real Amphenol females
correctly or vice versa.  But Amphenol isn't perfect either.  A year
or two ago I had a defective Amphenol PL259.  The threaded sleeve's
retainer collar wasn't much there so when threading it onto a jack the
sleeve kept going and pulled off the soldered body of the connector.
