Agreed. Also the silver-plated teflon PL259s work quite well at UHF. I
typically see less than 1% reflected power off of them.
All my MVPs & most of my cavity filters & antennas have SO239
connectors. Not my favorite choice of connector (mostly due to shield
integrity concerns), but if used with a good quality PL259 connector,
they'll work fine.
