A debate how to attach PL-259.... Would'nt it be better if we finally
got rid of those aniquities (the only thing You can be sure of, it is not 50
ohm
characteristic impedance)...

Getting rid of a connector which is standard all over the world?

Now *that's* amusing. :-)

BNC or N are also standards all over the world. So is C, however it is a bit
tricky to find.
PL-259 is hardly useable above 50MHz, and totally worthless above approx. 300MHz
(why PL-259 is the standard for 144MHz rigs is definitively beyond my
undersanding- for
commercial 80MHz LMR, BNC or C is standard, depending on power output).
