Jeff,

There are a number of amateurs who just do not like BNC connectors and will not use them. In fact I have heard some comment when looking at a K2/10 say "That antenna connector MUST be changed to a UHF type". While I do not agree, it is a perception that must be dealt with at Elecraft. Couple that with the fact that BNC is largely the 'standard' for QRP transceivers, but not for 100 watt and over rigs where the UHF connector reigns supreme.

Adapters are not a problem IMHO, they can just stay on the SO-239 jack and usually do not get in the way.

In effect now we are forced to need adapters.

Do you think BNC connection is not suitable from an engineering perspective?
