I too use all BNC and LMR-240 cables. Great shield on this cable and low loss.

UHF seem really large and clunky to me, and I don't like having to unscrew them rather than just a small twist. One factor that other folks might not have is that I run strictly low power and the largest coax I have anywhere in my station is LMR-240 size. So using a large connector seems like overkill to me. I also invested in a good crimp tool and make all my own BNC cables and have yet to have a failure. So to me, there is zero downside to using BNCs. But I appreciate that others may have a different opinion. 73 Craig AC0DS ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
