Hank sent me a couple of barrel connectors made by PD that I've never seen before or since. They are UHF on one end of the barrel and Type N on the other end and Hank insisted that the connector produced no vswr bumps up to 500 Mhz. In a message dated 4/11/2008 4:24:35 P.M.

California. Really a great guy. Wonder what ever became of Hank with the company changes? The VHF 'sticks' had UHF connectors, the UHF 'sticks' came with type N connectors. One thing tho, the UHF connectors that PD used had the Teflon insulators and much better plating. **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms and advice on AOL Money & Finance.
