Type N is weatherproof, BNC is not. Type N peak voltage is 1500 V, BNC is 500 V (UHF is also 500 V). Type N rated to 11 GHz, BNC to 4 GHz. Type N RF leakage -90 dB min @ 3 GHz, BNC -55 dB min @ 3GHz. For this kind of thing, I go to the Amphenol spec sheets for connectors. The specs for the UHF connector are minimal, three specs for electrical, no mil specs. https://www.amphenolrf.com/connectors/bnc.html https://www.amphenolrf.com/connectors/n-type.html https://www.amphenolrf.com/connectors/uhf.html wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) ______________________________________________________________ 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]
