hi

I was wanting to dispel some myths about connector losses

lets assume my worst case freq 450mhz LOW /week singal work

lets assume my worst coax is ether lmr400 or 600 (not imp )

so naturally i'd use typically N connectors

how much do i lose if I screw in a right angle adapter?

in general at the base of a radio

and same question say i want to join to lengths of coax and use a
small stubby f/f N connector adapter ??


lose going from a DIN to an N via a adapter?? at radio and 'inline'

joining 2 coax lengths


some say the loss is actually neg some say it's going to add up and
the insertion loss could easily go over 1/2 db i dunno


exactly how good/bad is it?



and where can u get some good low loss adapters (i know of ampenol) I
bought some unknowns at a flea market and they had great loss to which
in that case i attribute to just poor quality


thanks to all those in advance that help me put the hamster back on the
wheel
