Mike, the BNC connector was designed for quick insertion / disconnect and works very well in most applications.
However the Type "N" connector is much more robust and would be my choice for critical connections such as a Duplexer or an Antenna etc.... We use them all the time in the Telephone business for DS-3 connections. Here is some history on the BNC connector... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_connector 73 John VE3AMZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Pugh" <mikep...@mikepugh.net> To: <Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 3:55 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Coax Interconnect (Inside Repeater) > Alexander N Tubonjic wrote: >> I am wanting to swap out the BNC receiver connector to an N >> connector on my Kenwood TKR-750 2 meter repeater.
