Default Connectors

Hi to all.
What's the correct designation for the Female ?


"UHF" feed lines are usually and commonly terminated with a 'N' Type
plugs into a 'N' Type Socket.
"VHF" fed lines are usually and commonly terminated with PL259 plugs
into a SO259 Socket.
The indicator, PL represents a Plug, and SO represents a Socket.

If you think of it in a bodily manner, relate to it as Male= PL and
Female= So, and so a [male enters the female]
Take a look at any "UHF" transceiver and you will find that it's a 'N'
Type socket on the rear entry of the rig, a far superior plug to the
PL253/8/9 Etc Etc Series.

Dual band transceivers are terminated at the rear by a PL259 socket.
Hope this helps. Cheers Dave.
