I certainly understand the concern though. Personally, I have replaced UHF connectors with N connectors where I can, use nothing worse than RG214 or LMR400 for interconnects at my station, and have the interconnects as short as possible. I built many cables with exactly the connectors and lengths needed so I avoid adapters. Everything helps.
For field day I have a piece of 1 1/4 Heliax with N connectors to go from inside the tent to the balun outside the tent, but I admit that is just overdoing it! 73, Mark W7MLG On Mon, Dec 28, 2015 at 7:04 PM, Ken Widelitz <widel...@gte.net> wrote: > Hi Mark, > > > > Thank you for a cogent explanation.
