I agree. In my military days, we used a lot of BNC connectors into the 400 MHz range with no problems.
Stick with Amphenol or a another good mil-spec brand and you'll be fine. You get what you pay for. 73, Mike WM4B From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chuck Kelsey Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 12:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Coax Interconnect (Inside Repeater) You want to steer away from junk connectors, and there are a lot of them out there. BNC's get used with excellent results on all kinds of commercial applications. Use quality, name-brand connectors. Hamfest specials are usually cheap overseas junk.
