Regardless, I suggested that you -measure- this apparent loss, not
calculate it (.....gee, seems I've said that before.....).

I sent you a link to somebody who did using a RF network analyzer. He
reached the same conclusions I did. Give it a read.


I did. This is what I read: "....I must admit that the UHF type barrel
connector employed here was of fairly poor quality....". That's not
exactly a fair evaluation, now is it?

Sure it is. The test data is quantitative, the graph and number don't lie,
and his remark about the "quality" is just qualitative.


No, it's subjective, which means the test data is also subjective. And
the conclusions were also subjective, extrapolating the test results
from a single "poor quality" UHF connector to all such connectors
regardless of quality. One single connector is not even a valid sample
group, let alone a fair representation of a connector type that has
been sucessfully used in UHF applications for over 60 years.


Now if you can
explain just what he means by "poor quality" in a way that's measurable let
me know.


Assuming you can do anything for yourself, email the guy and ask -him-
what -he- meant by "poor quality". After all, it was -his- test and
-his- connector.


I'm still waiting for your expert answer as to why Amphenol doesn't show the
application range for their UHF connectors above 300 MHz. And if they're so
great why doesn't everybody use them on UHF instead of the more expensive
constant impedance connectors like the "N", "BNC", "SMA" etc. You shouldn't
have to wait for me to do anything to answer that one. If they're so darn
good then tell every why. You seem to know more than the company that
designed, manufactures, and markets them. It seems really dumb of them to be
selling the other types when as you seem to think the cheaper UHF style
works just fine up on UHF, even for your TV channel 77 I think you mentioned
in your E-mail.


I have answered that question, and more than once. You are avoiding
the answer almost as much as you are avoid the test. Are you going to
do the test or not?
