I got an Emtech antenna tuner kit for Christmas, but it's the BNC
version and my shack is normal SO whatevers.

=====================================
What's the problem ; just get a BNC to SO 239 adaptor or make a
short lead with the appropriate connectors.


The problem is a couple of dB of loss on each side. Not everyone cares.

I would be very interested in the measurements or documentation to
support the statement that the UHF--BNC adapter caues a couple of dB
loss


I have none. Just the shopkeeper who sold me my first rig said so. I'm
sure I can rig up some old crusty adapters to do so. All the same, I
would want to keep the adapters out for other reasons.

If you had been required to pass a REAL technical exam to get your license, you
would know better.
