... I was recently commissioning a 2M vertical antenna that had an in-built SO239. However, the thread on the SO239 was shorter than that of a PL259 to the extent that even when screwed fully home, the cable was not locked (Usually by those triangular pips on the end of the plug locating into the v-grooves on the SO239) and could swivel around with a correspondingly poor contact for the braid/outer. Even a Cber would know that your problem is caused by trying to mate up 2 incompatible threads!!! It is a common problem on white stick antennas, if you purchase a compatible plug then everything will screw up correctly.!!!!! Jeff |
