Receive drops about 6 s-units

[Clay Autery]

Thank you.  Nice article.  Good references.

Other than the potential center pin overheating at 1kW+, I don't see
anything there of concern to me in my installation (and I can address
that potential in other ways... namely, higher quality connectors with
proper materials used in the pin and shell construction, plating, proper
fitment to center conductor, use of appropriate solder spec, et al. Most
of which I already do as a matter of course).  If someday, I am running
a high-power PA in the 1kW+ range, I will address this concern more
completely through data acquisition at the terminations (temp
monitoring) and mitigate any negative outcomes with appropriate means.

Keep in mind that I am NOT maligning the UHF connector.  It's cheap and
effective.  That's why it is used.  "Cost" is lower on my engineering
priority list than standardization of connector types, et al. in my station.

Again, with the proper tools, materials, and experience, terminating an
N (or BNC) connector is no "harder" than a UHF connector.

Just did so... Was trying not to bother those guys with a seemingly
trivial task, but....

Let's consider this thread closed to the reflector.  I will respond
off-line after this.

No sir...  referring to the terminals/plugs on the SO-239 leads soldered
to the SO-239 panel connectors in Part# E850229.

The TMP connectors you reference are used in point-to-point connection
between PCBs in other locations and have mating sockets.

These terminals plug into plated through-holes on the KANT3A/KAT3a PCB
just inside the chassis adjacent to the ANT1 and ANT2 connectors.

UG-1185's have a captive center pin which can't migrate.
