Subject: Re: BNCs, Enough!

W7CS
In my previous life as the project manger of an RF Equipment Design
Department, that built racks of equipment for the Military and for
NASA, I would not allow BNCs to be used on interconnecting signal
cables, only TNCs or Type Ns.  Chassis mounted BNCs and their
attending cables were only used for check out and testing purposes,
and as for interfacing to external Test Equipment.

TNC connectors/connections (really similar to small sized Ns)
provided the initial, as well as long term reliability, required for
intense Military and NASA operations, that might be involving the
safety of lives.

However now retired, and as a Ham, I regularly violate my own rules, HI
