I'm aware that the PL-259 has loss but what I'd
like to find out is how much loss at 146 & 450 mHz?

Anyone know?

Looking at my Wirebook IV, pages 3.2 and 3.3

Alan Bloom, n1al, used an HP8753 RF network analyzer to compare losses
of UHF vs. N connectors.

Both connectors measured 0 db loss up to 100 mhz.

At 150 mhz, the N has 0 db loss, the UHF has .01 db loss.

At 450 mhz, the N has 0 db loss, the UHF has .09 db loss.

That's it...
