Thank you. Nice article. Good references. Other than the potential center pin overheating at 1kW+, I don't see anything there of concern to me in my installation (and I can address that potential in other ways... namely, higher quality connectors with proper materials used in the pin and shell construction, plating, proper fitment to center conductor, use of appropriate solder spec, et al. Most of which I already do as a matter of course). If someday, I am running a high-power PA in the 1kW+ range, I will address this concern more completely through data acquisition at the terminations (temp monitoring) and mitigate any negative outcomes with appropriate means.
Keep in mind that I am NOT maligning the UHF connector. It's cheap and effective. That's why it is used. "Cost" is lower on my engineering priority list than standardization of connector types, et al. in my station. Again, with the proper tools, materials, and experience, terminating an N (or BNC) connector is no "harder" than a UHF connector. ______________________ Clay Autery, KG5LKV (318) 518-1389 On 2/17/2016 11:42 AM, [email protected] wrote: > http://www.wa1mba.org/UHFconn.htm0 > > bob k3djc ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
