Hot take: Use cheap connectors and cable if they fit your budget and intended use and you're aware of the consequences of their failure.
I've forgotten to connect an antenna to my KX3 at all and it's handled it fine, so I'm not deeply concerned about a connector failure disconnecting it. If you're putting out the legal limit and the connector's gonna be up a tower? Use the good stuff. 73, Julie On Mon, Jul 12, 2021, 15:00 Jim Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > On 7/12/2021 11:47 AM, Paul Dluehosh wrote: > > It may take a little work to clean up a connector with the stub of a > > coax cable in it, but usually the cost is low and you still end up with > > a real Amphenol connector. > > I've installed hundreds of Amphenol UHF connectors, and I can't imagine > re-using one that is PROPERLY installed. > > 73, Jim K9YC > ______________________________________________________________ > 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] > ______________________________________________________________ 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]
