I won't argue that the N connector may be a better choice for any number of reasons, but don't rush out to change out a PL259 fearing excessive signal loss... a PL-259 isn't in any way (especially at HF) "High Loss"....
>From the Wirebook IV, pages 3.2 and 3.3.... Alan Bloom, N1AL, used an HP8753 RF network analyzer to compare losses of UHF vs. N connectors.
Both connectors measured 0 db loss up to 100 MHz.
At 150 MHz, the N has 0 db loss, the UHF has .01 db loss.
At 450 MHz, the N has 0 db loss, the UHF has .09 db loss.
Other studies show similar results ...
