Almost nothing from RS works very well .

That's a very general statement Ralph. I have bought electronic
components and
various connectors from Radio Shack for 28 years and all worked. (works,
works
well, or works very well, take your pick). I paid more for them, but that
was
because they were the only place I could get the stuff I needed locally.
I
have bought things from my local electronics supply house lately that
didn't
work, and they are not open on weekends.
RS doesn't manufacture their components or connectors. They are
reselling.
I for one am glad they do, they have saved me time and money persuing this
Hobby. As to whether the solderless BNC connector works, the RS one will
work
as good or bad as OEM.

Last time I went into my local Radio Shack, I found they didn't stock 50 ohm
coax anymore. Special order; yes. On the shelf; no.

Sad but true. From what I understand RS made nothing from their electronic
parts, did it as a favor to us experimenters. Must be same with coax now. How
much could they make on a 10 cent resistor pack?
I hope they keep the parts section open, but afraid it won't be much longer.
