Jim,
Is absolutely correct.. I have several of them.

Any special reason why you would want to? LDF4-50A is the most common and
easiest to find connectors for. LDF4-50A also has half the loss and would be
more durable. The LDF1-50 might be good for jumpers with small turning
radiuses.

The PL-259 is not a connector anyone that is serious about communications
would use. The connector is not waterproof, it is not constant impedance,
it is just a very poor choice for a connector.
At my last job there was a sign. It stated:
You can get it:
1. quickly.
2. inexpensively

Has anyone come up with a plan to replace the SO-239 hooded
chassis mounts on the Mastr II repeaters? We've got 5 in
service, both VHF and UHF, and all use the dreaded SO-239
for both
Only problem is it 33 to 39 ohms, not a good 50 ohm connector.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't swap them out with a type N chassis

However, I've never worried about it much. PL259/SO239's have been in
service for so long now
Well, when the equipment has a SO-239, I tend to use a PL-259 to connect
to it. I guess I'm 'funny' that way.

I was talking about true hardline connectors, not something adapted to use on
hardline. Using quality hardline, then putting a cheap connector, is not what
I thought your were going to do.

Well, I've had fewer problems with my cheap, adapted connector than
other types specifically MADE FOR hardline! You go with what works,
right? Using the UG-176 allows me to solder completely around the shield
- making one heck of a good connection. Actually, it's nothing adapted
to the hardline -

The same shape as when I started. I don't use cheap connectors.
