And Ken is right... some of us in the industry also call it an "impedance bump".
Going back into history... I'm told the original RCA style connector is one of the better early rf connectors. Heathkit used to drive hams crazy with it... but it is/was the better animal. And... After all these years we don't hate the Mini UHF and TNC connectors nearly as much as when they started to appear on common two-way radio and cell-phone gear. cheers, skipp > <---Psssst...don't tell anyone but a PL259 ain't as horrible (loss > wise at least) at VHF & UHF as "folklore" would have you believe. > The real issue is not of loss but rather that of a PL259 not being > a constant impedance connector. This is where BNC's and N's shine. > Ken
