[AMPS] N type/PL259

[Peter Chadwick]

Jon,

>According to the specs I have on these connectors, the threads are 5/8 x
24.

Is that a 5/8 by 24 Unified thread form with a 60 degree angle, or a
Whitworth 55 degree thread form?

I'm told that there are antennas and things coming out of Taiwan where
they've tried to produce the N type and PL259 threads on a metric lathe; as
a result, the errors build up and prevent you screwing on the connector. Be
warned!
