Not to claim to be some super operator or know it all... This is the safest
way to keep track of bad cables. I have a few waiting for new ends. And
Don's last paragraph makes great sense. Modified equipment has less value.
I want the wife to get all she can out of my equipment when I die while
running (not in the shack on my PC and HR).

... I do keep a constant check on the BNC connectors - if the shield
escapes the clamp, or the center conductor is pulled back, I discard the
cable, or simply cut off the offending cable end so I know to repair it
later.
For those with more permanent stations, I would highly recommend sticking
with theUHF connectors or using UHF to BNC adapters rather than modifying
your equipment. Just my humble opinion.

5 years ago. Great decision. Much more convenient and allows for rapid
cable changes. Everything in my shack and antenna runs has been
standardized with BNCs.
