I learned to install N connectors in the military as that is what all the UHF & SHF stuff used, and still prefer putting an N on than a PL-259 any day. BTW: the HF & VHF all had BNCs and I prefer those over PL-259s also.

I use a lot of crimp type N connectors and like them, but just running
the legal limit into the band edges on 160 or even 75 has cost me a
number of them.
What I need are standard connectors to fit LMR-600 and that pretty well
limits me to N and UHF. Finding UHF connectors to fit LMR-600 has been
a chore. Some of the suppliers no longer even have LMR-600 cable or
connectors listed. So far the only one I've found carrying them has been
the wireman and he's out of stock.
