Ken, KC2JDY wrote: "---RCA connectors, will there be a material difference in insertion loss?" The RCA pin size is large enough for low resistance contact, and insulation quality can be good enough for low leakage. RCA connectors were routinely used in Motorola 2-way radios to make connection to its internal receiver 455 KHz intermediate frequency filter. This says nothing about possible loss but does indicate suitabikity for some RF applications. Outside world RF connection to Mottorola 2-way radios was usually via the familiar "UHF" (SO-239). These stay connected when yanked and are simple and easy to connect to the coax. A bonus is that the center-conductor pin socked is designed to accept a banana plug. All common coax connectors are usually too short to represent much of an impedance bunp. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI The RCA connector has been demonstrated to show a flat response from DC to Light. The only problem with this connector is that it is hard solder coax to the blasted thing. Dave WD9BDZ |

Dale W4OP Take a look at http://www.nwham.net/w7zoi/rca_plugs.html for an example of using RCA connectors at VHF. Bill AF4B |
