Return loss didn't measure quite as good as some of my newer silver plated N-SO239 adapters. Ddn't know the brand but the physical length is much shorter. Anyways, funny we both discovered an odd source of desense today: for me, it was the UHF port of a Larsen cross band diplexer, model AD 2/70. This is the one with no pigtails & seamless metal case construction. Must be something loose inside, as the amount of desense changes when I pound on it - sometimes it goes away completely but it isn't stable enough to use. So it gets a "NGFD" tag (no good for duplex). >Even quality can fail! Anything can fail. Quality is less likely but less != zero. Bob NO6B
