After an absence of 24 years I got back into ham radio. Lots of chances have happened in the intervening period and back int he 80's the only connectors I could lay my hands on was either BNC or PL239.

When I was browsing around looking for dummy loads I noticed a lot of N connectors on these.

I have only a few cables at this moment but more gear is due to come into the shack and I am not exactly thrilled with the use of the PL239.

Out of the whole range of connectors that is available which are a better solution to move to than the cheaply (perhaps better mentioned: junk quality) PL239?

Main use will be for in the shack between equipment so I prefer to stay away from the "heavy" cable. The antenna is being fed with twin wire.

Many thanks in advance for your input, 73, Marinus, ZL2ML
