Not only is it too easy to damage the center pin/socket, BNC is a "clamp" type connector and is prone to improper assembly. Having
"grown up" with Heathkit, I would rather have RCA connectors - the
old kind where the shield can be soldered all the way around - than
BNC connectors on RF devices below 50 MHz and less than 50 Watts.

In effect now we are forced to need adapters.

Do you think BNC connection is not suitable from an engineering
perspective?
