I've seen a couple of posts lately, complaining about UHF female connectors on
equipment instead of BNC.
My own opinion--gosh, I'm glad you asked--is that I prefer the UHF. If I want
to work with BNC, I just put an adapter on and off I go. However, consider this
..
If you have a BNC chassis mount connector and want to use some cable with a
PL259 on it, the UHF female to BNC male adapter exerts considerable leverage on
the BNC connection, especially if you are using RG213. The reverse--BNC female
to UHF male--is much less demanding on the equipment, and less likely to do
damage. I prefer UHF connections in the field for ruggedness.
Anyway, one old codger's opinion.
72, all,
