I like the older connectors much better myself.
Years ago, I used to assemble lengths of coax and solder the connectors

Nevertheless, we must all be vigilant of the presence in the marketplace of

I have an adapter in my RF box that looks a lot like that one. Return loss
didn't measure quite as good
I use to Buy the Cheap Nice shiny Connectors at Places like Radio

440 , And Playing with 900Mhz that's when I found out that Cheap
connectors are Crap .
So the next time I went to a Hamfest a Guy had some Boxes of
