K3/100 antenna connector(s)

[JACrux]

It would be nice to see N connectors in a radio of this class. If BNC is fine
for the basic K2, why go to SO239 instead of an N socket for the 100w
version ? OK everyone has them, but PL259s are a pain to install.

Not all will agree - I know many hams who will use nothing other than
UHF connectors, and I have heard many others comment that BNC's *must*
be changed to SO239 jacks.

While I believe you are correct, I think it would alienate many buyers
to have type N connectors.  Besides, UHF connectors are good up through
6 meters, and at times even through 2 meters.

When the rest of the world learns that N connectors are easier to
install than PL259s, things may change, but for now, much of the ham
world believes that PL259s are easier.

I would prefer the BNC. Quick, good and easy.
What else do you want?
