Uggh, You're reminding me that one of my customers used hundreds of the WRONG BNC's for the cable they were running T3's with at a central office site in NJ.
The T3's go up... the T3's go down... whee! All it takes is for someone to walk back there and brush up against them. Sorry, OT I know... just giving me the willies.

However the Type "N" connector is much more robust and would be my choice for critical connections such as a Duplexer or an Antenna etc.... We use them all the time in the Telephone business for DS-3 connections. Here is some history on the BNC connector... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_connector 73 John VE3AMZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Pugh" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 3:55 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Coax Interconnect (Inside Repeater) > Alexander N Tubonjic wrote: >> I am wanting to swap out the BNC receiver connector to an N >> connector on my Kenwood TKR-750 2 meter repeater.
