So there'd have to be some special reason to use UHF connectors for me.
The only bad thing about that find was that there weren't many female
connectors, and while the local surplus store once had some odd bits of
something that included two female BNC connectors, that wsa in the past
when I found this pile of male connectors.


As it seems like most all the ham gear around the states has the so239/pl259
type connectors on them there is a big need for that type in my shack.

And that's unfortunate, though physically they have to be better than
phono connectors, which I thought the Heathkits (and likely other rigs)
used a lot for lower level connectors. I seem to recall a Type N
connector fits in the same holes as a UHF connector, but of course a BNC
would be too small, at the least you'd need an adapter plate. Though BNC
would probably fit into those phono connector holes.
